• Show software and hardware versions.
• Setting IP address, netmask, gateway, DHCP (on/off)
• Show used MAC, IP address, netmask, gateway and DNS (if DCHP is used it could be useful)
  Note! For the “Browse unit” button to work the Webswitch has to have a working Ethernet network connection! An USB connection is not enough.)
• Upgrade firmware, both application and bootloader.

Start with downloading the latest version of Microbit Setup Manager below. Install the Setup Manager by following the instructions which shows up. If you have a older operating system installed where .Net Framework 2.0 is not installed, the installer will guide you trough the installation of Net framework.

Note that Windows XP SP2 and older sometimes has problems with USB connected devices, so SP3 is highly recommend.

Note! The installer program has been changed from version 1.13,  so if you are upgrading from version 1.12 or older you will have to uninstall the previous version manually before installing the new version.
