FIRMWARE UPGRADE OPTIONS
The MRC88 has been designed to be “Future Proof”. As product feature
improvements are developed, new System Firmware versions will be made
available. Check www.xantech.com
for upgrades when starting a new MRC
Project.
There are two types of Firmware Upgrades. If a controller has a very old version
of firmware, more than 5 revs previous, or is just not functioning properly, that
calls for a Cold Upgrade. A controller with more recent firmware that is
functioning properly, should get a Warm Upgrade.
