Updating the Revolabs Executive HD™ Firmware

Executive HD Systems are field upgradable for the firmware portion of the Base Station and microphones. The firmware must be sent to both the Base station and microphone using the HD Control Panel program.

Note: If your Base Station and microphones have different firmware versions, they may not work together. Confirm that your Base Station and microphones are updated before use.

Updating the Executive HD Base Station & Microphones
The Executive HD Base Station firmware can be changed using the Revolabs HD Control Panel program. You can download the latest firmware here. The same firmware file can be used for all Revolabs HDTM Products. Communication to the Base Station is done over an Ethernet connection, and communication to the microphones is done through the Charger Base via Mini-USB cable.

1. Download the latest firmware file and save it to your PC. The firmware file must remain in its .zip format in order to function correctly.
2. Connect the Charger Base to your computer using the Mini-USB cable provided. Make sure that the charger is plugged in and powered on and that the microphones are in it.
3. Connect to the Base Station using an Ethernet cable. This can be done via a direct connection to the PC or through a DHCP router or switch.
4. Set your PC IP address. The PC and Base station must be both set to a fixed IP address or both connected to a DHCP router and have DHCP turned on. (See Using the Revolabs HD Control Panel Software)
5. Start the Revolabs HD Control Panel software.
6. Select ‘Scan Network’ from the ‘System’ menu.
7. Select the Base Station you which to update and click ‘OK’
8. Select ‘Update Firmware’ from the ‘Firmware’ menu.
9. Browse to the firmware file on your PC and click ‘OK’
10. Select the Base Station that you would like to update.
11. Choose whether you would like to update the base, mics, or both.
12. Select OK and watch the firmware process either on the Base Station front panel display or in the ‘monitor’ tab in the Revolabs HD Control Panel program. The HD Control Panel will notify you when the process is complete.

Note:  A Base Station must either be connected to a DHCP server or have a fixed IP address in order to receive a firmware update. A Base Station that is set to DHCP with no DHCP server present will fail in any update attempt.
