Upgrading the firmware
This guide provides procedures for upgrading an RCP 2000 with firmware version 2.04 or beta test firmware version 3.0 to
the version 3.01 for the RCP 2000 with ISS 506 Support. To view the firmware version currently installed on your RCP 2000,
cycle power to the RCP while watching the LCD screen. While the RCP is powering up, a screen appears showing the
current firmware version — 2.04 or 3.00.
Upgrading the Firmware
Before beginning the firmware upgrade process, download the latest firmware files from the Extron Web site for the
RCP 2000 with ISS 506 Support and for the ISS 506 switcher. To ensure compatibility, the ISS 506 must have firmware
version 1.07 or higher, and the RCP must have version 3.01 installed.
To upgrade the ISS firmware to version 1.07 or higher, follow the procedure described in the ISS 506 User's Manual. After
uploading the firmware, reset the ISS 506 by issuing the SIS
®
command E ZXXX ] to the switcher via DataViewer, or by
selecting Reset to Factory from the Advanced Configuration menu via the ISS front panel.

This reset erases all user settings from the ISS; therefore, be sure to note any important settings prior to beginning the
upgrade.
