Firmware Update window is divided by BrightSign generation. In the section that corresponds to your player
model, select a firmware version or Do not update and then click OK. You can also use the Update type
dropdown menu to determine the behavior of the firmware update:
• Standard: The .bsfw update file deletes itself from the local storage once the firmware update
process is complete and the player reboots.
• Different: The update will only be applied if the version of the .bsfw update file does not match the
current firmware version of the player. The file is not deleted after the update process is completed.
• Newer: The update will not be applied if the current firmware version of the player is newer than the
version of the update file. The file is not deleted after the update process is completed.
• Save: The .bsfw update file is not deleted after the update is applied. The device will only reboot once
the storage device containing the update file is removed.
