Firmware Upgrade
The switcher supports a firmware upgrade using the Web UI and through the USB-A port on rear panel. To upgrade the firmware through the Web UI, see Firmware section. To upgrade the firmware through the USB-A port on rear panel, perform the following: 1. Name the upgrade file package “HT-RANGER2-update.zip”. 2. Create a new folder named “upgrade” under the root directory of a FAT32 or NTFS USB Drive. Place
the upgrade file in this folder. 3. Connect the USB Drive to either of the switcher’s USB-A ports. It will take about 1 minute for the
switcher to read the USB Drive. If the switcher detects the upgrade file is a newer version, it will start to upgrade automatically. When the upgrade process is complete, the switcher will reboot.
Note: Before connecting USB Drive to the switcher, we recommend that you remove the USB-C source
from the switcher’s USB-C port. Do not disconnect power to the HT-RANGER during the upgrade process. If the switcher detects the upgrade file is not a newer version, it will not start the upgrade.

Troubleshooting

Problem Type Video USB
Audio

Problem
No Video on Display
Choppy video using AirPlay
USB-C not connecting
PC charge reminder pop-up
No audio at far end on soft codec call (i.e. Meet, Teams, Zoom, etc.)
No audio heard on the display

Options Confirm the HDMI input on the display is correctly selected Confirm the connected source is sending video to the HT-RANGER2 (verify the connected laptop is in duplicate or extend mode) Make sure the AirPlay device’s WiFi is connected to HT-RANGER2’s soft AP (may need to turn on in Web UI)
Verify connected cable supports USB-C The response time to output video of USB 3.0 and Type-C is typically 6-8 seconds, although the response time between PC’s can differ Confirm the PC can transmit video over USB-C by installing the DisplayLink device driver: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads
This pop-up is normal since the HT-RANGER2 charging power might be different than what the laptop requires To ensure the laptop doesn’t lose power, connect a dedicated power supply Verify the HT-RANGER2 microphone is not muted (red LED means muted) Verify the microphone selected in the soft codec is the HT-RANGER2
Verify the soft codec microphone is not muted Verify the HT-RANGER2 is selected as the desired speaker output in the laptop by clicking on the speaker icon to open the audio output Verify the display is not muted
Verify the levels are turned up on both the laptop and the HT-RANGER2
