Beolink Active 1636 SW Revisions

4 replies

Hello,

I have a Beolink Active 1636 with SW 1.1. Now I read in this forum, that there are two later SW releases available (1.3 and 1.5). Can anyone please anser me the following questions?

  1. What are the functional differences between 1.1 and 1.3 or 1.5?
  2. Is it possible to upgrade mine from 1.1?
  3. What needs to be done and what are the costs to be expected?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Dear B&O Specialists,

Any ideas on this? Cannot be no one in here knows this...

I might be mistaken, but I think the SW 1.3 is for the BeoLink 1616 only.

 

When I ordered two BeoLink Active a couple of weeks ago, they were delivered to my dealer with SW 1.1 and had to be returned because I asked for the newest software. I am planing to get an Masterlink Gateway. To be fully supported by the Masterlink Gateway the BeoLink Active has to have SW 1.6.
