Overview
Make sure to operate the MBT-5000 with its latest available firmware.
The MBT-5000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System is factory-shipped with its latest version of
operating firmware. If you need to update the converter firmware, you may download the
update from the Comtech EF Data Web site (
www.comtechefdata.com
). You may also receive
the firmware update archive file via e-mail from Comtech EF Data Product Support.
You may perform the firmware update, without opening the MBT-5000, remotely over satellite,
or by directly connecting a user-supplied Microsoft Windows-based PC to the
‘J9 | 10/100
ETHERNET’
port and the 9-pin serial ‘
J1 | COM 1
’ port located on the MBT-5000 rear panel.
Do these steps:
•
Download the firmware update archive file via the Internet to the User PC.
•
Use Windows Command-line to transfer, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the extracted
firmware files from the User PC to the MBT-5000 standby firmware image.
•
Use the MBT-5000 HTTP (Web Server) Interface to configure the converter to operate using
the updated firmware image.
