TalkSwitch User Manual
Highlight the newest firmware file, then click the "Open" button.
The final stage of the update process will take approximately 5-15 minutes
depending on how you are connected for the update, during which time the LED
lights on TalkSwitch’s front panel will show diagnostic indicators for part of the
update, then the Data light will flicker for the remaining portion of the update if the
prompts need to be loaded.
When the update is complete, you will see a message indicating the update was
successful.
Click the "OK" button and the TalkSwitch software will then close. There is no need
to restart Windows or TalkSwitch - your updated TalkSwitch Firmware is now ready
to go!
In the event the firmware update was unsuccessful, please try the update process
again and follow the instructions. If you continue to have problems please contact
your reseller or Centrepoint Technologies.
Firmware updates will not alter your system configuration. In the event of a major
system update, it may be necessary for the configuration file to be reset to default
values. In this case you will need to reconfigure the entire system. In the case of a major
system update, Centrepoint Technologies will mention any issues involved with the
firmware update.
Under no circumstances should you use mismatched software and firmware versions.
The last two digits of the version number for the software and firmware should always
match (ie. 1.37 software and 2.37 firmware). If you use mismatched software and
firmware to configure your system, this could result in a system failure requiring
system defaults to be reset and the system reconfigured.
If you replaced your computer with a new one, please use the software that matches
the latest version of firmware running on TalkSwitch. If obtained from the website,
you can once again download the install file. All install files found on the website
have both the entire software program and the latest firmware. They are not simply
upgrade files.
