Appendix II: Upgrading Firmware

Updating the firmware in your MX36 has been streamlined further than ever before with the
introduction of a IP (internet protocol) loader app that has firmware embedded, so no need to
worry about loading the wrong version — the app knows if your firmware is out of date and will
select the right version automatically.

Communications Set-up

Updates can be performed through the Ethernet CONTROL port connection. This is fitted to
all versions of MX Series units and is separate to the Dante Audio Ports (MX24-D).

Latest Software section of the XTA website to find the latest loader — this

will be a zip file containing the IP Loader. Remember there are now no separate firmware
files in the zip file!
