Using the Download Site
The landing page of the Download Site requires the user to enter a valid User Name and Password to
authenticate user identity and permit entry to the Site. These two codes are initially assigned by Meriam and
can be found on a card included with shipment. Locate the card and place in a safe place for future
reference.
Once a user is logged on to the Site, the
Latest Release Notes
screen appears listing and describing the most
recent firmware releases posted and the posting date. Individual files can be downloaded from the detailed
description page of each DOF or firmware file listed. Also available on this screen are the navigation
buttons for
Current Release Notes
,
File Download Area
, and
Subscriber Options
.
The
Current Release Notes
screen describes the most recent firmware releases available and dates posted.
Five (5) columns are shown on this page: Date, Title, Description, Manufacturer, Model. These categories
will assist the user in finding the release descriptions of the DOF, MFC Installer or MFC Firmware releases
of interest. Individual files can be downloaded from the detailed description page of each DOF or firmware
file listed. Each column can be sorted to assist searches of the release database. Also available on this screen
are the navigation buttons for
Latest Release Notes
,
File Download Area
, and

The
File Download Area
screen is the actual download page. Select from a list of downloadable firmware
files (including MFx Installer Utility, MFC Firmware, MFC Documentation Firmware
and DOF’s) by locating the file name of interest with the PC mouse and left clicking. Dialog boxes guide the
user through the process. Multiple files can be downloaded using a Java applet that must first be loaded onto
the host PC. Dialog boxes again guide the user through the process. Subsequent downloads of multiple files
will be handled by the Java applet stored in the host PC memory. Also available on this screen are the
navigation buttons for
Latest Release Notes
,
Current Release Notes
, and
Subscriber Options
.

The
Subscriber Options
screen provides useful account information. User Name and Password for the

customize the account Password. The user should also provide an e-mail address that allows Meriam to
provide notification of new firmware updates, DOF releases, and subscription period expiration. Press the

MFx Installer Utility
MFx Installer utility should be loaded onto the host PC from the instruction manual CD (included with MFC
shipment) or from the Meriam Download Site where it can be found on the
File Download Area
page. MFx
Installer coordinates the download operations from the host PC to the MFC. Periodic improvements may be
incorporated into this Utility. Therefore, Meriam recommends periodic comparison of the MFx Installer
version installed on the host PC to the latest available version on the Download Site to insure use of the an
up to date Utility tool.
Directions for using MFx Installer are found under the Help Tool Bar selection.
