CAUTION
Allow the firmware upgrade to run completely. Before upgrading, make sure that no other users are logged in and no other processes are running. Failure to do so may render all hardware unusable requiring a factory reset.
NOTE
Updating the unit firmware deletes all system log messages.
For MX modules, update the firmware on the Hardware page of the web interface. Click Update firmware in the settings menu of the desired MX module. The system updates the MX module firmware to the latest version required by the CX23-R. The CX23-R can update multiple MX modules at one time. When the firmware update is complete, the MX module reboots. It typically takes a few minutes for the MX module to synchronize with the CX23-R. Test runs cannot be started until all MX channels used in the test setup are synchronized.
CAUTION
It may take several minutes for the MX module firmware update to complete. Do not reboot the CX23-R when MX firmware updates are in progress. Do not disconnect power to the MX module as this may render the MX module unusable.
