Step 5 | Select Dante Firmware File

  1. Click on Browse...
  2. Select the Dante Firmware file for your KLANG product.
  3. Option Override Device Matching.
    1. Normally you do NOT have to override Device Matchings.
    2. In case you can not find any KLANG devices in the following steps, please go back and set the checkbox for Override Device Matching once. (This has to be done once if you are updating from an older version where Klang was not written in capital letters. Updating to 1.1.x.x from 1.0.x.x requires to check this option once.)
  4. Click on Next. (If you had to choose Override device matching click also on Yes)


Step 6 | Choose Dante Device for Update

  1. Check the box to select your KLANG product’s Dante module to be updated.
  2. Click on Start.

The KLANG specific firmware on the Dante module is usually uploaded in a few seconds. If the Dante software on the module is going to be updated, e.g. to support AES67 functionality, this may require a few minutes.

Step 7 | Reboot Device

After the Firmware Update Manager is finished with the update, it shows a dialog. Please power off your KLANG device and turn it on again to ensure the latest/current firmware is loaded correctly. You can monitor the Firmware version in the Dante Controller. Please check the information carefully. It might also be good practice to save screenshots for future references.

Your update is now finished.
