Install the Dante Firmware Update Manager
Before you update the Dante firmware, you must install the Dante Firmware Update Manager.
Double-click the Dante Firmware Update Manager installer downloaded in “Preparing for the update”
(Windows: DanteFirmwareUpdateManager-x.x.x.exe,
Mac: DanteFirmwareUpdateManager-x.x.x.dmg) and follow the on-screen instructions to install the
firmware.
x.x.x represents the version number of the Dante Firmware Update Manager.
In addition, extract the Dante firmware (extension: .dnt) from the compressed file.
The Dante firmware will not work correctly if the path contains any characters other than single-byte
alphanumeric characters, "-" (hyphen), or "_" (underscore). You must save the firmware update file in
a directory whose name contains only single-byte alphanumeric characters, "-" (hyphen), or "_"
(underscore). (E.g., C:\temp)
·The “Windows Security” dialog box may appear. In such case, click [Install this driver software anyway].
·You may be prompted to restart the computer after the installation is complete. Before proceeding to update,
restart the computer.
·When installing the Dante Firmware Update Manager, temporarily disable any running anti-virus software.

Updating the Dante firmware
Described below are the procedures to update the Dante module firmware integrated in the HY144-D.
・Perform the update with the HY144-D installed to the DSP-R10 HY card slot 3/4, to the CSD-R7 HY card slot 2/3 or to
the RPio622/RPio222.
1.
Connect the Dante [PRIMARY] connector of the HY144-D to the Ethernet connector on the computer
using an Ethernet cable.
Be sure to directly connect the computer and the HY144-D, and do not connect any other Dante device
to the computer.
2.
Turn on the power to the device to which the HY144-D is installed.
3.
Windows: Select [Start]→[All programs]→[Audinate]→[Dante Firmware Update Manager]→[Dante
Firmware Update Manager ] , then right-click and select “Run as Administrator.”
Mac: [Application]→[Dante Firmware Update Manager], then double-click “Dante Firmware Update
Manager.”
The Dante Firmware Update Manager will start up.
Check that the version number is 1.3.2 or higher from the title bar.
・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_HY144-D_vxxx_swyyy.dnt,” then click [Open].
xxx and yyy represent the firmware version number.
・The Dante firmware will not work correctly if the path contains any characters other than single-byte
alphanumeric characters, "-" (hyphen), or "_" (underscore). You must save the firmware update file in a
directory whose name contains only single-byte alphanumeric characters, "-" (hyphen), or "_" (underscore). (E.g.,
C:\temp)

8
7.
(Only when updating from Dante firmware before version 3.8.1.4,) check the [Override Device
Matching].
Notice
When [Override Device Matching] is not checked, only devices supported in the update file are displayed. For
this reason, updating with wrong files is prevented.
However, it is necessary to check the [Override Device Matching] only when you update the HY144-D Dante
firmware from V3.8.1.4 or earlier to V3.10.4.1 or later.
Be sure to confirm the name of the update file to prevent updating with wrong files.
8.
Click [Next].
・In some cases the Windows firewall may be blocking the Dante Firmware Update Manager. Select the [Private
network] check box, and click [Allow access]. Alternatively, in the Windows firewall, click "Allow programs or
functions through the Windows firewall," and if the "fum" checkbox is unselected, select this check box to allow
access.
If the update manager is blocked by the Windows firewall, the "Upgrade failed." dialog box appears.

9
9.
Check the HY144-D to update.
Check the version of the update files and the version number indicated in the HY144-D line.
・If the HY144-D is not indicated, click [Refresh]. If it is still not indicated, use Dante Controller to check whether
the cable might be disconnected or broken, whether the TCP/IP settings are correct or not, and whether the device
which is installed the HY144-D is running or not.
10.
Click [Start].
The update operation will begin.
“Updating(n/m)” 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 the update is not completed after 5 minutes, or an update failure indication appears, click X at the upper right
corner of Dante Firmware Update Manager to exit the program
without turning off the power of the device to
which the HY144-D is installed,
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.
11.
Turn off the power to the device to which the HY144-D is installed.
The firmware update is now complete.

■
About Failsafe Mode
The Dante module integrated in the HY144-D may become unusable due to data corruption if the
Dante device is powered-off during a firmware update.
To recover from such a state, the Dante module will enter "failsafe mode."
To restore the Dante module from failsafe mode, a recovery image must be sent from the Firmware
Update Manager.
If the red ERROR indicator of the HY144-D is lit, it may be that the Dante module is in failsafe mode.
Use Dante Controller to check whether the Dante module is in failsafe mode.
A Dante module that is in failsafe mode is shown as a red device name in the network grid view of
Dante Controller (version 3.1.x or later).

11
Described below are the procedures to recover the Dante module integrated in the HY144-D.
1.
Turn off the power to the device to which the HY144-D is installed.
2.
Separate the HY144-D from the Dante network.
3.
Connect the Dante [PRIMARY] connector of the HY144-D to the Ethernet connector on the computer
using an Ethernet cable.
In some cases, an error may occur during recovery if you are going through a network switch. Connect the
computer with the HY144-D in a one-to-one connection.
4.
Turn on the power to the device to which the HY144-D is installed.
5.
Disable all but one of the network interfaces on your computer.
You should also disable the wireless LAN.
6.
Windows: Select [Start]→[All programs]→[Audinate]→[Dante Firmware Update Manager]→[Dante
Firmware Update Manager ]
, then right-click and select “Run as Administrator.”
Mac: [Application]→[Dante Firmware Update Manager], then double-click “Dante Firmware Update
Manager.”
The Dante Firmware Update Manager will start up.
・The "User Account Control" dialog box may appear. Click [Continue] or [Yes].
7.
If you see the interface selection screen, select the interface card to connect the Dante device.
8.
Click [Failsafe Recovery].

12
9.
When the HY144-D is detected, click the [Stop Scan] button.
If several minutes have passed without detection, use Dante Controller to check whether the cable might be
disconnected or broken, whether the TCP/IP settings are correct or not, and whether the device which is installed
the HY144-D is running or not.
10.
Select the check box of the detected HY144-D.
11.
Click [Start].
A pop-up is displayed confirming that you wish to proceed.
12.
Click [OK] to start the recovery.
Firmware Update Manager will display "Processing Safe Recovery", and then "Safe Recovery Done" when the
device(s) are recovered.

13
13.
Exit the Dante Firmware Update Manager, and wait for two minutes before turning off the power to
the device to which the HY144-D is installed.
After recovery, restart the Dante module. If you power-off the device to which the HY144-D is installed before
restart is completed, the data of the Dante module will be corrupted, and you will have to perform the recovery
once again. Start Dante Controller, and if the device name is shown in black, it is safe to turn off the power.
14.
The correct Dante firmware now needs to be loaded.
After recovery, the Dante firmware will not be the latest version. To update to the latest firmware, perform steps 2
through 11 of "Updating the Dante firmware." At this time, also perform “Check the [Override Device Matching]”
in step 7.
Now recovery and firmware update are completed.
