Uploading the Firmware to the MGP Pro
After you have installed the new firmware on your computer, you must upload it to the MGP
Pro. Firmware uploads can be performed via the MGP Pro internal web pages or the MGP
Series Control Program. The computer and the MGP Pro must both be connected to an
Ethernet network in order to update the main firmware. It is recommended that you always
perform firmware upgrades via an IP connection.

files, and new firmware files before loading new firmware into the unit.
