Updating the Firmware
After you have installed the new firmware on your computer, you must upload
it to the MGP 464. Firmware uploads can be performed via a Web browser, the
MGP 464’s internal Web pages, or the Firmware Loader software. The computer
and the MGP 464 must both be connected to an Ethernet network in order to
update the main firmware. Unless you are using the Firmware Loader (see “Using
the Firmware Loader,” later in this chapter), it is recommended that you always
perform firmware upgrades via an IP connection.
N Check the Extron Web site for firmware-related documents, instructions, patch
files, and new firmware files before loading new firmware into the unit.
