This update covers the following part numbers: - 2001-00631 StudioEdge - 2001-00632 StudioEdge with Dual PSU - 2001-00633 StudioCore - 2001-00634 StudioCore with Dual PSU - 2001-00635 StudioCore + CAN - 2001-00636 StudioCore + CAN with Dual PSU ## Requirements 1. PC connected to your Livewire network 2. Update file (or files) > [!CAUTION] > Plan a suitable time to perform your update. The update procedure necessitates a restart to activate the new version, and audio will be interrupted during the reboot. ## Description "The StudioCore **unit** may need two software updates to be uploaded: one for the Edge I/O component and one for the Core DSP Engine component. A StudioEdge unit will only need one update for the Edge I/O component. For a complete description of the product's internal architecture, [please refer to the QSG](/v1/docs/axia-studio-core-edge-qsg) ### How to Identify Your Unit If you are uncertain about which unit you have, a sticker is on the rear. You can see that our sample unit is a StudioCore equipped with the CAN feature. In our case, we need two updates (one for the Edge IO component and one for the DSP Engine component) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-XU8O9UP1.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A36%3A18Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A36%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=gayTJtD0%2Ba8dQSJLfPT8Uby0qcWbBxEV5Z94tyTOMcY%3D) ## Obtaining the update files If you are updating a StudioEdge **unit**, download this file and store it in an accessible location on the computer you will utilize for the update. [https://telos-support.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Axia/StudioEdge/1601-00610-004-studio-edge-io-1.2.1-2024.12.19.itb](https://telos-support.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Axia/StudioEdge/1601-00610-004-studio-edge-io-1.2.1-2024.12.19.itb) If you are updating a StudioCore **unit**, download the previous file **AND** this one [https://telos-support.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Axia/StudioCore/1601-00609-003-studio-core-dsp-1.2.1-2024.12.19.itb](https://telos-support.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Axia/StudioCore/1601-00609-003-studio-core-dsp-1.2.1-2024.12.19.itb) Notice they have the names core-dsp and ege-io in the description. This will be important later. ## Performing the update > [!NOTE] > If you are updating a SudioCore unit, there is no specific sequence required for updates. In this instance, we will begin with StudioEdge. ### Update StudioEdge I/O 1. Using a Web Browser, enter the IP address of your StudioEdge IO in the address bar. In our example [h](http://192.168.2.35)[ttp://192.168.2.35.](http://192.168.2.35.) Verify the Studio Edge Control Center is displayed (not Studio Core) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-YI99WO2T.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A36%3A18Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A36%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=gayTJtD0%2Ba8dQSJLfPT8Uby0qcWbBxEV5Z94tyTOMcY%3D) 2. Click the Software link on the left side menu. 3. Enter your username and password. > The user name is always “user”. The default password is blank (no password) > [!WARNING] > Almost all Axia products utilize a dual-bank software update mechanism, where one bank is active (or operational) while the other is designated for uploading new versions, enabling you to upload and then activate at a more suitable time. You can see in our image below version 1.2.0 is currently showing [active] and version 1.0.0 is in the unused bank.![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-UH2L6CFW.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A36%3A18Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A36%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=gayTJtD0%2Ba8dQSJLfPT8Uby0qcWbBxEV5Z94tyTOMcY%3D) 4. Click the Choose File button next to Upload new software 5. Browse for and select the correct update file for StudioEdge that you downloaded in the previous step. > [!NOTE] > Pay attention to the name of the file. In this case we are looking for edge-io in the name. The system will not accept the incorrect file. 6. Click the **Upload Image** button to upload the new file to the inactive bank. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-3P9FV7K0.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A36%3A18Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A36%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=gayTJtD0%2Ba8dQSJLfPT8Uby0qcWbBxEV5Z94tyTOMcY%3D) ## Activating the new version > [!CAUTION] > We have observed that in a few cases, this update might necessitate a 15-second power cycle. This is a timing issue that will be resolved in a subsequent version. **Therefore, we advise against executing this 1.2.1 update remotely.** > [!CAUTION] > The next action necessitates a reboot to enable the alternate bank. Anticipate a 15 to 30 second interruption in audio. 1. Click the small bubble next to the new version. 2. Click **Switch to Selected Bank**. The unit will restart. After restart, the Status and Software pages indicate the new version number. ## Update StudioCore (if required) If you are updating a StudioCore **unit**, repeat the above steps using the update for the Core DSP component you downloaded previously ## Release Notes StudioCore and StudioEdge Release notes are maintained in a separate document.
