Firmware Updates in Ketra Tech Tool
The Ketra devices may need the firmware version to be updated. This is accomplished via the Ketra Tech Tool. Firmware updates can take up to 4 hours to complete for a system with fully loaded N4 hubs; however, the initial update to the N4 hubs takes a lot less time. After the N4 hubs are updated, the Ketra Tech Tool can be closed and the computer can be disconnected from the network while the N4 hubs update the associated devices.
Ketra Design Studio cannot be opened while the Ketra Tech Tool is in use. If you want to keep the Ketra Tech Tool open to monitor the status of the updates, first build the Ketra groups, scenes, and shows in Ketra Design Studio before updating the firmware with the Ketra Tech Tool. Mapping, programming, and activation can be performed in Lutron Designer while the Ketra device firmware update is taking place.
1. Open the Tech Tool and select the installation.
2. The tool will show a list of all Ketra devices and their status
3. To update your device, select Upgrade from Control Device(s) from the drop-down on the left and then click Start.
Note: Once the initial upload to the N4s is complete (indicated by receiving the message below), the programming computer can be disconnected from the network and the Tech Tool can be closed.
