Appendix A - Updating the MR9600 ControllerFirmware
As part of Multi-Tech Systems continuing effort to add value to its products, from time to time it releases
new firmware for the MR9600 controller. This procedure descri bes how to obtain new firmware releases
and use them to update your MR9600 controllers.
1. Download the current MR9600 controller firmware from t he Multi-Tech Web site
(www.multitech.com). Firmware files are available in the Service and Support ar ea under
MultiModemManager & the CommPlete Communications Server
(http://ftp.multitech.com/mmminfo.htm).
The firmware file name should be similar to REL210.HXC.
2. Using a third-party FTP application, FTP the .HXC file to the B dr ive of the MR9600 controller. If you
are unable to complete the transfer, it is possible that the controllers B drive is full. In that case,
delete the most or all of the .HR files in B:\MMM\MR.LOG\ and try again.
3. Telnet to the MR9600 controller and change to the directory that you FTPd the .HXC file to.
4. Type update <filename>, e.g., update rel210.hxc. The controller updates the firmware.
5. When the controller asks if you want to reboot, answer yes. Rebooting the controller does not
disconnect users who are currently connected to your modems.
6. Telnet into the controller after waiting a couple of minutes for it to reboot. Log in as supervisor.
7. Delete the .HXC file.
8. Log out of the controller. The update is complete.
