Loading the firmware to the SW USB using the
Firmware Loader
To load a new version of firmware from your computer to your
SW USB using the Extron Firmware Loader software, your
computer’s serial port must be connected to the switcher’s
RS-232 serial port. See “Rear Panel Features,” in chapter 2,
“Installation,” for information on connecting to the serial port.

. If you have not already done so, download and install the
Firmware Loader executable installer file to your computer
(see “Downloading and installing the Firmware Loader,”
earlier in this chapter).
2 . If necessary, download the latest SW USB firmware version
and install it on your computer (see “Downloading and
installing the firmware,” on the previous page).
3 . Open the Firmware Loader via your desktop Start menu
by making the following selections: Start > All Programs >
Extron Electronics > Firmware Loader > Firmware Loader
5 . On the first screen that appears, select the RS-232 tab.

your model name (SW2 USB, SW4 USB, or SW4 USB Plus),
the appropriate COM port number, and 9600 for the baud
rate.
7 . Click OK. The firmware selection screen appears.
