and replace the firmware chip.
Update the DXP firmware as follows:

switcher operation. This is not the page to insert your own HTML pages. See

your computer.

b. On the Download Center page, click the Firmware link on the left sidebar menu.
c. Click on the name of your DXP switcher.
d. On the next screen, fill in the required information, then click the Download
product name_firmware version.exe button.

than the serial port for firmware uploads.
