MediaEdge

4 Maintenance Mode

4-1 Maintenance Mode overview

MediaEdge-STB3 Maintenance Mode is the recovery program that is used when

the ﬁ rmware update, as described in the previous section “Updating Firmware,” has

failed and MediaEdge-STB3 no longer functions. It is also used when you forget the

user name and password that you have set in the [User name and Password]

screen.

Firmware updates, in this case, are performed in a special Maintenance Mode with

a ﬁ rmware binary ﬁ le rather than an archive ﬁ le.
