Updating Firmware

MOTU periodically posts firmware updates for the 828es. These updates may include bug fixes, enhancements and new features.

Updates are posted on MOTU’s servers. If your computer or Wi-Fi device has access to the internet, the MOTU Pro Audio Control app notifies you as soon as an update is made available.

Otherwise, you can check motu.com/proaudio periodically for the latest firmware update.

A USB or network cable connection is required

Firmware updating requires either a USB or network cable connection to your computer. So before you begin, connect a USB cable from the

828es to your computer, or connect a standard

CAT-5 or CAT-6 network cable from the network port on the 828es to one of the following:

■

Your computer’s network port (or a

Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter)

■

Your home, studio, or office network (with internet access)

■

An AVB port on a MOTU AVB switch

(connected to your office network through the

Ethernet port)

☛

Having both USB and Ethernet connected during the firmware update process is also fine.

You can update firmware with or without internet access. Both scenarios are explained below.

Updating with internet access

You are now ready to update the firmware:

1

Launch the MOTU Pro Audio Control web app on your computer, iPad, or iPhone, as usual.

2

Go to the Device tab.

3

In the New Update Available banner

(Figure D-1), click More Info.

4

After reviewing the list of enhancements, click

OK to start the update.

5

Follow the on-screen instructions.

6

If you have a Mac, and you normally use USB or

Thunderbolt to connect the 828es to your Mac, it is a good idea to disconnect the Ethernet cable after you complete the update, so that the Mac doesn’t switch to Ethernet as the primary audio connection to the 828es (instead of USB or

Thunderbolt).

Updating off-line, without internet access

If the 828es (and the computer it is connected to) has no internet access, you can download a firmware update file from another computer that does have internet, and then use the file to update the 828es, as follows:

1

Download the firmware file from motu.com/proaudio.

Figure D-1: The firmware update banner appears across the Device tab when your web host has internet access and MOTU posts an update.

113

2

Transfer the file to a computer with a USB or network cable connection to the 828es.

3

Launch the MOTU Pro Audio Control web app on the computer, as usual.

4

Go to the Device tab, scroll down to the bottom and click Update from File.

5

Locate the file on your hard drive and click OK to start the update.

6

Follow the on-screen instructions.

7

If you have a Mac, and you normally use USB or

Thunderbolt to connect the 828es to your Mac, it is a good idea to disconnect the Ethernet cable after you complete the update, so that the Mac doesn’t switch to Ethernet as the primary audio connection to the 828es (instead of USB or

Thunderbolt).

Updating multiple interfaces on a network

If you have two or more MOTU interfaces on a network, you can update their firmware all at once.

1

Go to the MOTU Discovery Settings menu.

MOTU Discovery Settings

2

Choose Firmware Updater > Open...

Figure D-3: Launching the Firmware Updater.

3

Connect Ethernet cables, if necessary, or click the Update from File option.

4

Click Update All Interfaces Now.

Figure D-4: Updating multiple interfaces in one operation.

Viewing the latest firmware version information

You can confirm the firmware version at the

bottom of the Device tab (Figure D-5).

OSC Support

Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication among computers and other multimedia devices that is optimized for modern networking technology.

MOTU audio interfaces support OSC, which provides remote control of all device settings and mixer controls from any OSC-enabled controller.

For further details about remote control through

OSC, along with complete documentation for the

MOTU AVB OSC API, visit:
