Updating the Firmware

After you have installed the new firmware on your computer, you must upload 

it to the MGP 464.  Firmware uploads can be performed via a Web browser, the 

MGP 464’s internal Web pages, or the Firmware Loader software.  The computer 

and the MGP 464 must both be connected to an Ethernet network in order to 

update the main firmware.  Unless you are using the Firmware Loader (see “Using 

the Firmware Loader,” later in this chapter), it is recommended that you always 

perform firmware upgrades via an IP connection.
