MN-MBT5000

Upgrading Firmware

Revision 4

4–10

Using the MBT-5000 HTTP Interface ‘Config | Utility’ page:

Click

[Reboot Now]

to soft

reboot the converter.

Upon reboot, the converter front panel “splash” screen should verify that the new

firmware version is active, as shown in this example:

MBT-5000
Version: #.#.# SN #######

To load the second Firmware Image, use the converter front panel or the MBT-5000 HTTP

Interface

‘Config | Utility’

page to configure the target Image (

) as the

Current Active

Firmware Image

, and then repeat Steps

through

The MBT-5000 is now operating with its latest firmware. The firmware update process is now

complete.
