MCUpdate will upload the firmware into the MX

unit, replacing the older version stored in a flash memory chip. In
the Update Commands Section (Figure 41), as a test procedure, click the button labeled Set/Check MX4 Serial
Number to validate that MCUpdate and the MX
4
unit are communicating properly. This test will retrieve the serial
number of your MX

You are now ready to upload the new firmware file. Click the button labeled Update MasterConsole Matrix (MX4).
The serial number will be displayed. Click OK to continue. It will take about 2 minutes to complete this step. Make
sure there are no interruptions of power and avoid performing any activities on the PC or MX
4
unit during the
MCUpdate upload. MCUpdate will display the progress of firmware transfer, record by record, page by page, and
block by block. There are total of 8 blocks, 64 pages in each block, and 16 records in each page.
Upon completion, the MX
4
will reset and restart itself. Close the MCUpdate program window on your PC.
If the version of firmware you replaced was prior to version 2.0, you must manually reload the system and user
configurations that were copied prior to the MCUpdate program being executed. Refer to Planning before running
MCUpdate step2.
Congratulation! You have done it. Enjoy the new features of the new MX
4
Release.
