Upgrading Router Firmware
This section explains how to upgrade the router firmware of MVG and UVG400 units.
You can upgrade the router firmware directly from a website such as the SerVision website. Before you begin, ask
your distributor for the correct address (URL).
NOTE:
Do not upgrade the router firmware unless you are told to do so by technical support staff.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you save all configuration changes and restart the unit to implement them
before you upgrade the router firmware.
To upgrade the router firmware:
1. In the
Main Menu
, click
Diagnostics
, and then click
Upgrade Router
. The
Router Upgrade
screen opens:
Figure 229: Router Upgrade screen
2. Under
Upgrade URL
, fill in the location of the new firmware file. For example,
. (Note: This is not the actual URL to use; consult your distributor for
information about the correct URL.)
3. Click
Update
. The new firmware is uploaded to the unit and then the router firmware is updated.
The upgrade process itself – once the file upload is completed – takes approximately three minutes. A timer
indicates when the upgrade is completed. When it is completed, the
System Summary
screen is displayed. If
this screen is not displayed within about six minutes of the end of the file upload, and you cannot connect to
the unit via a client application or through the configuration utility, restart the unit by disconnecting it from the
power supply and then reconnecting it. Bear in mind that interrupting the upgrade process before it is
completed may cause the router to become completely inoperable, so do not restart the unit before the six
minutes have passed. Note that if you are using a WiFi or cellular connection to upgrade the router firmware,
it may take longer for the unit to reestablish the connection to the network.
