Installation steps:

1. Download the firmware file.
2. Connect a cable between the MLC/RS-232 Power port of the MLS and the serial (RS-232) port of the PC.
3. Start the MediaLink control/configuration program.
4. From the File pull-down menu in the upper left corner, select Update Firmware. The MediaLink Control Software closes, and a separate utility program opens and displays a window indicating the current firmware version.
5. Click Upload. You are prompted to select the firmware file that you downloaded in step 1. Click OK.
6. When the browser window opens, locate and select the firmware file, then click Open to upload the firmware into the MLS. The firmware update file must have a filename extension of .s19. If the file does not have that extension, it will not work properly.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions. When you recycle power, power off the switcher for at least four seconds, then restore power.
8. When the firmware uploading is complete, a dialog box appears and asks you:
- to exit the firmware update utility program if the new firmware loaded correctly (if the correct firmware version is displayed in the program window, as shown in the example below)
- to run the utility again (Upload Firmware File, see step 5) if the firmware didn’t load correctly. Follow the on-screen directions to complete the process.

About Stereo Audio Switcher Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
