2.2.3 Insuring compatible firmware on the Aurora
The LT-TB requires your Aurora converter to have Firmware Version 28 or later. This
should be verified prior to installing and configuring the LT-TB card. To determine what
firmware revision your Aurora has installed, press the TRIM and POWER buttons at the
same time with the power to the Aurora off. This will put the Aurora into a Demo mode,
where the front panel LEDs flash sequentially from left to right. In the Aurora METER
display, there will be a number in the Input row, and a number in the Output row, that flash
continuously. On an Aurora16, if the LED flashes over the numbers 2 on the input row & 8
on the output row or above (i.e. 3&1, 3&3, etc.) in the Aurora Meter Display, then your unit
is compatible with the LT-TB. If pressing Power and Trim does not cause any LEDs to
flash, causes a sequence lower than 28 to flash, or causes a single number to flash, then your
unit needs to be updated.
If your Aurora has firmware version 13 or above, it can be updated by an Apple Macintosh
running OS X or a Windows PC with a MIDI interface. The Aurora firmware updater
program and instructions for use are available for download from the Lynx website at
Support > Downloads. If your unit has revision 12 or earlier, please contact Lynx Technical
Support (U.S. or Canada) or your local distributor for firmware update options. Please note
that Auroras manufactured in 2006 or later should have firmware revision 13 or above.
