instruction to continue.
• The Dante firmware does not operate normally if its path contains any multi-byte
character (including Japanese characters). If you use a directory name containing
any multi-byte character in your computer, store the firmware update files in a
directory that consists only of ASCII characters. (e.g. C:\temp).
• When installing the Dante Firmware Update Manager, temporarily disable any
running anti-virus software.
• You may be required to install the Bonjour in the middle of installing the Dante
Firmware Update Manager. If so, download Bonjour from the URL specified by the
Bonjour installer, and install it.
• You may be prompted to restart the computer after the installation is complete.
Before proceeding to update, restart the computer.

Updating the Dante firmware
Described below are the procedures to update the Dante module firmware integrated
in the RMio64-D unit.
• To update the Dante firmware, you need to connect an RMio64-D to the computer
one at a time, and repeat the update procedure for each device.
• For details of the Dante Firmware Update Manager, refer to “AUD-MAN-
Firmware Update Manager” stored in the compressed file folder.
1.
Connect the Dante [PRIMARY] connector on the rear panel of the RMio64-D unit
to the Ethernet connector on the computer using an Ethernet cable.
Be sure to directly connect the computer and the RMio64-D unit, and do not
connect any other Dante device to the computer.
2.
Turn on the power to the RMio64-D.
3.
Run the Dante Firmware Update Manager as described below.
Windows
Select [All programs] or [All apps] [Audinate] [Dante Firmware Update
Manager] [Dante Firmware Update Manager], then right-click and select “Run
as Administrator.”
Mac
Double-click “Applications” “Dante Firmware Update Manager.”
• Confirm in the title bar that the version number is 1.4.7.1 or higher (Windows)
or 1.4.5 or higher (Mac).
• The “User Account Control” dialog box may appear. Click [Continue] or [Yes].
4.
If you see the interface selection screen, select the interface card to connect the
Dante device.

5.
Click [Update Dante Firmware].
6.
Click [Browse] and select “FWUpdate_RMio64D-vxxx-swyyy.dnt,” then click
[Open].
The characters “xxx” and “yyy” represent the firmware version number.
The Dante firmware does not operate normally if its path contains any multi-byte
character (including Japanese characters). If you use a directory name containing
any multi-byte character in your computer, store the firmware update files in a
directory that consists only of ASCII characters. (e.g. C:\temp).
Notice:
If update files other than RMio64-D are applied, the device will become inoperable.
Be sure to ensure compatibility of the update files with RMio64-D. To ensure that
updating the device with invalid or wrong files is prevented, do not check the
[Override Device Matching] option. If this option is left unchecked, you can select
only supported devices with the update file.
7.
Click [Next].
• Dante Firmware Update Manager may be blocked by the Windows Firewall.
Check the all check boxes, and click [Allow access].
• In Mac, the confirmation dialog box which accepts incoming network
connections from an application may appear. Click [Allow].
8.
Check the RMio64-D to update.
Check the version of the update files and the version number indicated in the
RMio64-D line.
12
If the RMio64-D is not indicated, click [Refresh]. If this field is empty, your
computer may not be properly connected to the RMio64-D. Check that the cable is
not loose or disconnected, that TCP/IP is properly configured, and that the RMio64-
D is turned on.
9.
Click [Start].
The update operation will begin.
“Updating” appears in the Status field during updating. “Done” is displayed once
update is completed.
Notice:
Update takes 2 to 4 minutes. During the update operation, do not turn off the
power to the unit or disconnect the cable. If update fails due to disconnection of the
power cable during the update, or due to other reasons, the device may become
inoperative.
If update is not completed after 5 minutes, or update failure indication appears,
click X at the upper right corner of Dante Firmware Update Manager to exit the
program without turning the RMio64-D power off, and restart the procedure from
the step 3. If update still fails, follow the instructions stated in “
About
Failsafe
Mode” to perform the recovery process.
10.
Restart the RMio64-D.
The firmware update is now complete.
Check that the firmware version has been updated.(→P.2

About Failsafe Mode
During normal operation, software must be loaded from a flash memory drive during
operations to use the Dante module integrated in the RMio64-D. However, data in a
flash memory drive may occasionally become corrupted, as with any other storage
device.
In many cases, such data corruption is caused by turning the RMio64-D power off
during firmware upgrading.
The Dante module has a specially protected flash drive section in order to recover from
such a condition. When the main section is damaged, the program stored in the
protected area is activated and the Dante module goes into “failsafe mode.”
To restore a Dante module in failsafe mode, a recovery image needs to be sent from the
Dante Firmware Update Manager.
To check if the Dante module is in failsafe mode, use Dante Controller: the respective
device is displayed in red in the Network View of the Dante Controller (version 3.1.x
or higher).
Furthermore, the red [SYSTEM] indicator on the RMio64-D unit will periodically flash
twice.
Described below are the procedures to recover the Dante module integrated in the
RMio64-D unit.
1.
Turn off the power to the computer and the RMio64-D.
2.
Separate the RMio64-D from the Dante network.
3.
Connect the Dante [PRIMARY] connector on the rear panel of the RMio64-D unit
to the Ethernet connector on the computer using an Ethernet cable.
4.
Turn the computer power on and logon to Windows with administrative privileges.
5.
Turn on the power to the RMio64-D.
14
6.
Disable all but one of the network interfaces on your computer.
7.
Run the Dante Firmware Update Manager as described below.
Windows
Select [All programs] or [All apps] [Audinate] [Dante Firmware Update
Manager] [Dante Firmware Update Manager], then right-click and select “Run
as Administrator.”
• The “User Account Control” dialog box or the “Windows Security” dialog box
may appear. In such case, follow the on-screen instruction to continue.
Mac
Double-click “Applications” “Dante Firmware Update Manager.”
• In Mac, the confirmation dialog box which accepts incoming network
connections from an application may appear. Click [Allow].
8.
If you see the interface selection screen, select the interface card to connect the
Dante device.
9.
Click [Failsafe Recovery].
10.
Check the detected RMio64-D.
11.
Click [Start].
A pop-up is displayed confirming that you wish to proceed.
12.
Click [OK] to start the recovery.
Dante Firmware Update Manager will display “Processing Safe Recovery,” and
then “Safe recovery Done” when the device(s) are recovered.
13.
Exit the Dante Firmware Update Manager, and wait for two minutes before
turning off the power to the RMio64-D unit.
14.
Update the Dante firmware.
Follow steps 2 through 10 described in “Updating the Dante firmware.”
