■ Updating the SB168-ES firmware
This section explains how to update the SB168-ES firmware.
Before you start updating the firmware, decompress the downloaded compressed file. Place
“SB168-ES_PROG.bin," "update.exe" and “update.ini” in the same folder.
NOTE
・ For information about messages displayed by the SB168-ES firmware update program, refer to
“Error Message List
(SB168-ES Update Program)“ at the end of this guide.
・ Before starting the update program, quit all other programs. While the update is in progress, do not start any other
programs or switch between windows.
・ If your computer enters Sleep or Energy Save mode, data transfer to the device may stop. Therefore, you should disable
these functions to prevent this from happening. We also recommend that you do not use any screen saver or similar
background programs.
1. Connect the NETWORK jack on the rear
panel of the SB168-ES unit to the Ethernet
jack on the computer using an Ethernet
cable.
2. Make a note of the current settings of the
dip switches located on the front panel of
the SB168-ES.
Write down the current dip switch settings before you
modify them in the next step, since you will need to
return the switches to their original settings in step 8.
3. Set dip switches 5 and 6 (located on the
front panel of SB168-ES) to the down
position (ON), leave dip switches 7 and 8 in
the up position (OFF), then turn on the
power to the SB168-ES.
All +48V indicators will blink and the unit will start up
