Using a web browser
The MGP Pro comes from the factory with a set of default embedded web pages. The
System Status web page displays the firmware version of your unit, along with other
information such as your MGP Pro IP address and part number.
NOTE: The firmware update screen examples in this section all show MGP 464 Pro
pages. The MGP Pro web pages are identical in content and appearance except for
the product names.
To use the web pages to find out the current firmware version number:
1.
Power on and connect the MGP Pro to a PC via an Ethernet connection (using a
crossover cable), or connect the MGP Pro and the PC to a network, using a straight-
through cable (see
on page 6 for details).
2.
Start a web browser program (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer).
3.
Enter the MGP Pro IP address in the browser address field.
NOTE: If your local system administrators have not changed the value, use the factory-
specified default, 192.168.254.254, for this field.
4.
Press the <Enter> key. If the MGP Pro HTML pages are not password protected, the
browser displays the System Status page.
If the MGP Pro HTML pages are password protected, the browser displays a dialog box
requesting a network password. Depending on your browser, these boxes may appear
different. Figure 52 shows two examples.
