Support policy and how to contact us ================================================ 1. Description ================================================ Firmware version 2.05 This firmware update is an optional update provided to maintain consistency with USB-SSR24 firmware. Firmware for the USB-SSR24 was updated to resolve an issue in which, if configured for pull up, ports CH or CL port may power up in the opposite state than expected. This behavior has not been observed in the USB-SSR08. This optional update can be performed on devices installed with firmware version 2.03 and later. Devices with hardware revision below E, or firmware revision below 2.03, cannot be updated. ================================================ 2.
