The Device Discovery Utility is capable of updating the firmware on an unlimited number of Room Alert or TemPageR devices across the network. Keep in mind that the appropriate firmware file must be downloaded before the update process can be initiated. The firmware can be downloaded at http://AVTECH.com/Downloads. The process of updating device firmware via the Device Discovery Utility is detailed below.
Firmware Update for a Discovered Device:
Open the Device Discovery Utility application. The file path on most Windows-based computers is C:\Program Files\AVTECH Device Discovery Utility. Once the application is open, click 'Search'.
The list of available devices will populate below. Locate and select the device that will have its firmware updated. Multiple devices can be selected by holding the 'CTRL' key and clicked each desired device. Keep in mind that only one type of device can be updated at a time. For example, if you select a Room Alert 11E, only other Room Alert 11E devices can be selected and updated simultaneously. Once the desired devices are selected, click the 'Update' button.
A new window will appear. Click 'OK'.
A file browser will open to locate the desired firmware file to use for the update. Browse to the appropriate file location, select the firmware file, and click 'Upload'.
