Firmware for LynxTWO™/L22™/AES16™
|
Installation Notes
The firmware update process will take under 2 minutes. Once the update has been done successfully, your computer will need to be powered off for the new firmware to become active.
If for some reason the firmware update process fails, do not power off your computer until successfully updating the firmware. The firmware update process is not permanent until the computers power is switched off, so you may reboot your computer and re-run the update program to try again.
PLEASE NOTE: Before updating the firmware on your LynxTWO/L22/AES16, please close all applications that are running, pause or suspend the Windows Task Scheduler (System Agent), and insure that your power to your computer will not fail by connecting it to an uninterruptible power supply. If the LynxTWO/L22/AES16 firmware update is interrupted while updating the card, it is possible to leave your LynxTWO/L22/AES16 in an inoperable state that will require non-warranty factory service to repair.

Version 1.02.22 September 12, 2006
- Modified communication method between Aurora
and AES16(-SRC) Rev B cards to allow for upgrading firmware on an LT-HD as
required for use with Aurora Firmware Version 15 and higher.
PLEASE NOTE: You must upgrade the Aurora Firmware to Rev 15 BEFORE upgrading your AES16 Firmware to the September 12, 2006 release, otherwise Aurora Mixer remote control and firmware upgrade on the Aurora will not be possible with the AES16. If you have an Aurora with older firmware and you already have upgraded your AES16, contact Lynx Technical Support for upgrade instructions. - No firmware changes for LynxTWO or L22 from Version 1.02.21.
Version 1.02.21b April 18, 2006
- Fixed a problem that kept newer cards from
reading the serial number properly.
PLEASE NOTE: There are no changes to the firmware in this version of L2Update.
Version 1.02.21 July 21, 2005
- Fixed PCI bus performance issue with Macintosh G5 June 2004 models (MRM ON).
- Modified communication method between Aurora and
AES16(-SRC) Rev B cards to improve reliability. Aurora Remote Control will now only function with Rev 10 (or higher) Firmware on Aurora.
PLEASE NOTE: You must upgrade the Aurora Firmware to Rev 10 BEFORE upgrading your AES16 Firmware to the July 21, 2005 release, otherwise Aurora Remote Control and firmware upgrade on the Aurora will not be possible. If you have an Aurora with older firmware and you already have upgraded your AES16, contact Lynx Technical Support for upgrade instructions. - This revision includes:
