This topic has previously been answered by Steffen and Keith. I’ll add a comment here about how this played out in my scenario, in case it is helpful or interesting to any readers.

My symptoms where similar … the AR2412 “Ready” light remained off with the SQ’s Slink indicator blinking for about 15 min before I heard the relays engage and indicators return to normal. I did recall about the firmware updates and suspected this might be what was going on, however I had last updated my SQ firmware over a month prior.

Note that in my home studio configuration it is common for me to shut-down the SQ while leaving stage boxes powered. It was when I finally had the entire system powered down (and re-energized) that the firmware-update delay was encountered in the AR2412.

So I suggest considering stage-boxes as part of the system when performing console-firmware updates. 1) shut-down console AND stage-boxes 2) perform firmware update 3) boot console and stage-boxes. This could have avoided my becoming confused since all update procedures would have occurred in the same time-frame.

The phrase OP “Inputs” above should read IO “Inputs”.

On SQ-5 under firmware 1.5.6. r4043 there is a screen-update glitch on the IO Screen upon rename of a Stereo mix.
Immediately after renaming a Stereo Mix only the “Left” name updates in the IO Screen.

Try This:
– Go to IO Screen
– Select tabs “Outputs”, “Mix Out”
– Scroll to a stereo Mix (e.g. “Aux5”)
– Note the left/right names (e.g. “Aux5 L”, “Aux5 R”)
– Go rename the “Aux5” Mix (e.g. “Aux5” -> “XYZ”)
– Return to the IO Screen
– Note the left/right names (e.g. “XYZ L”, “Aux5 R”)
– The right channel name was not updated to the new name
– Note that upon changing tabs in the IO Screen, the correct name eventually appears.

It would be nice to have this fixed. Such glitches are unnecessary distractions and not representative of A&H quality.

BTW: Firmware is 1.5.6 r4043.
