Connecting a MasterConsole P as a Tier

whether your MasterConsole P model is MasterView ready, check the white label on
the bottom of the unit. Locate unit’s firmware version: MDSP-nnn. If firmware
version is MCSP–1AC or higher (e.g., MDSP-1AD), the unit is MasterView ready.
Some MasterConsole P models that are not MasterView ready can be upgraded to
MasterView Ready. Please contact Raritan Technical Support for details and pricing.
