Important Version Considerations
If you have mediaHub HD
version...
then you:
3.00.13 or lower and a
read/write hard drive....
use mediaControl .54 to upgrade the unit. You can also use command line and ftp (
adtec / none ).
3.00.13 or lower and a read-only
hard drive....
must use the command line and ftp ( admin / 1admin! ).
Caution: if you have to use this method, you may not have enough room to load the
upgrade file. If that is the case (failed upgrade), you will have to delete default.mpg
before transferring the update file to the unit.
3.00.13 and need to upgrade to
version 3.00.14 for testing....
can only do this using command line.
If you have a read/write hard drive, use ftp (adtec / none).
If you have a read-only hard drive, use ftp (admin / 1admin!).
Caution: if you have to use this method, you may not have enough room to load the
upgrade file. If that is the case (failed upgrade), you will have to delete default.mpg
before transferring the update file to the unit.
