Updating the Controller Firmware
Firmware updates are free for the life of any Baseline controller as long as the hardware is
compatible. Baseline will periodically release firmware updates that enhance the usefulness of our
products or fix the occasional bug.
There are two methods for getting the firmware update for your controller:
•
From the Baseline web site with a USB drive – Use this method when your controller is not
connected to the Internet. You will need a computer with a USB port. This computer must
have access to the Internet. You also need a USB drive. You download the firmware from the
Baseline web site to the USB drive. Then, you take the USB drive to the controller and install
the update.
•
From BaseManager – Use this method when your controller is connected to the Internet. You
can install the firmware update directly from BaseManager to your controller.
We recommend that you back up your current configuration before starting this process in case
you need to restore your system. Refer to Backing Up Your System on page 82.
