mc²56 MKII Technical Manual V5.10.2/1 293
Chapter 5: mcx System Update
Introduction
Introduction
Please follow all the topics starting from the beginning, and check the Additional Notes for any special hints
relating to the current release.
If Compact Flash cards need to be changed, please consider strict ESD protection procedures when touching the
electronic components.
Any loudspeakers and headphones must be disconnected or turned off before starting the update procedure as
noise or other distortion may occur.
Before updating any mxGUI applications, please refer to the mxGUI chapter of your Operators Manual.
Please note that support for systems using a Lawo 980/31 or 980/32 audio router card has been discontinued
from Release 5-0-0-0.
There are some update procedures which are necessary for mc
2
systems only. These will be marked with the tag
[mc² series only] . Please skip these instructions when updating a Nova system.
In some instances, there will be a choice of procedures depending on the current and intended versions. These
are explained in each topic.
As a first step, we recommend backing up all user data (including configuration files, productions, snapshots
etc.). This can be done using either mxUpdater (included with mxGUI) or an FTP client (FileZilla, WS-FTP etc.).
These procedures are described in the
next topic.
During the update, we recommend that you power cycle the updated components. This means that components
cannot be updated while running "hot" as there will be a noticeable disruption to audio.
Once running Version 5.8 (or later), there can be a mismatch in your configuration if you install an earlier release
than 5.8. Therefore, please contact the Lawo service department if you wish to downgrade your software version to
a release < Version 5.8.
