Upgrading firmware
From time to time, MADI-xx firmware updates may be made available. These might be either for
the network card, the controller card, or both. The method for uploading to the frame is the same
and is easily performed using a PC connected to the MADI-xx LAN port directly, or over a
network.
1) Establish communication with an MADI-xx frame to be upgraded over a network by using
Windows Explorer to search for the IP address of the frame: ftp//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
2) The two current firmware files should be visible; MADIXX.BIN for the MADI-xx controller
firmware and madixxnet_APP.s19 for the network firmware.
3) Copy the replacement file or files to the clipboard and paste them where the original files
appear.
4) The file transfer will begin.
The new network firmware will take effect only after the MADI-xx has been rebooted.
Note: The IP addresses of the frame and the PC must be in the same range. If necessary, the IP address
of the frame can be changed within the on-screen menu (see page 18).
