[Software Description] This software will update the LinkStation firmware to version 1.65. If your unit's firmware is already version 1.65 or later, you do not need this update. Note: If your LinkStation is in EM mode, this firmware update might recover it. [Notification] After this firmware update, EXT3-formatted USB drives will be rendered read-only. [How to Verify the Firmware Version] Select your LinkStation from the NAS Navigator2. The firmware version is displayed on the bottom right corner of the window. If the hostname contains "EM", the LinkStation is in emergency mode. [Notes] - Please consult technical support or your local customer service representative if the firmware update causes unexpected problems. - Do not turn the unit off until the update is finished. The update takes several minutes. - Newer LinkStation firmwares may cause the following message to appear in NAS Navigator2: "I52:Unknown error occurred" If this message appears, update NAS Navigator2 to the latest version. [How to Update the Firmware] 1. Connect the LinkStation and a computer to run the updater on the same network subnet. The subnet masks should be the same and the first three numbers of the IP addresses should be the same. The last number of the IP addresses should be different. For example, if the IP address and subnet mask of the computer are " 192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0 " and the IP address and subnet mask of the LinkStation are " 192.168.1.150/255.255.255.0 " then the updater will not work properly. In this case, reconfigure the LinkStation's IP address and subnet mask to " 192.168.0.150/255.255.255.0 ". Then they will be on the same subnet and the updater will work properly. 2. Exit all applications. Also, stop or exit any firewall software. 3. Extract the downloaded file and run "LSUpdater.exe". When a LinkStation is detected, an update window will open. 4. If multiple LinkStations are connected to the network, select which LinkStation to update. 5. Click 'Update' and enter the LinkStation's admin password. 6. Click 'OK'. 7. It will take several minutes for the firmware to update. During the update process, the info LED will blink. Don't disconnect or power down the LinkStation until the update is finished. 8. When the update is finished, a message will be displayed. [Version History] Version 1.65 [2017.3.6] Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug where HFS Plus-formatted USB drives could not be recognized.
