Upgrading AdderView CATxIP 5000 models
The AdderView CATxIP 5000 models are upgraded via global connection

a secure key. This prevents unauthorised or altered firmware images being
downloaded into the AdderView CATxIP 5000.
To upgrade AdderView CATxIP 5000 models
1 Download the latest firmware revision for the AdderView CATxIP 5000
from the Adder website and decompress the download file. View the
decompressed files and make a note of the name and location of the .bin
file that was part of the download file collection.
2 Make a global connection to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit and login
as the admin user.
3 Once logged in, click the ‘Configure’ button in the top right corner of the
window.
4 Click the ‘Unit Configuration’ button.
5 Click the ‘Advanced Unit Configuration’ button.
6 Click the ‘Upgrade Firmware’
button. This dialog will be displayed:

9 Select which portion of the AdderView CATx IP that you wish to upgrade:
• Tick the ’Main’ option to upgrade the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit itself.

10 When ready, click the ‘Perform upgrade’ button. The upgrade will take
place and its progress will be shown on screen.

into normal operation’.

such as a straightened paper clip into the small hole next to the IP
connector) and then re-apply power. Then, release the reset button
2 Access the AdderView CATxIP 5000 using a web browser on an IP connected
system. When the upgrade page is displayed, follow the normal instructions,
