Updating the Radiance 21XX (2123, 2124, 2143, 2144)
The current firmware release is shown at the top of the list below. All
updates are complete and contain everything from earlier updates. So, you
only need to load the latest update. You can check your firmware revision by
pressing "OK" on the Radiance Pro remote when the menu is not up, or
navigate to the Info Menu.
A TechTip on how to do the update is included with each update. The update
can be performed with a PC and the USB cable provided, or with USB-to-serial
adapter and a null-modem serial cable. Running the update at the maximum
rate of 230K BAUD works well for most PC's as long as they have wall power
during the update.
The PC utility will tell you when it's done. Then the Radiance Pro will
attempt to turn itself off. If it does not turn off after the update
completes wait one minute, and then pull and plug back in wall power. If the
utility finishes with an error (due to a communication error), just turn the
unit off and back on, and rerun the utility. Once complete just turn the
unit back on.
See the change log shown with each update for more details on the updates.
All the configuration information is normally retained during an update
(unless otherwise noted in the update log). So you usually do not need to
write down your current settings.
If you have issues please email us at support @lumagen.com and give us all
the details you can. When reporting issues let us know what software
revision you're on.

Fix for a configuration saving
issue that didn't allow the "undo save" to work properly. Also,

the earlier version was not downloading the CMS portion of the
configuration to save on a PC for 21XX units. If you backed up
your 21xx configuration earlier you should back it up again
after performing this update and downloading the new 1.8 version
of the
configuration utility. There were some improvements to the config utility as well.
See the
utilities page to download configuration utility
v1.8.
