3 In the ‘Current Firmware Versions’ region, select all the modules you want to update at one
time.
Check individual check boxes in the ‘Update’ column,
Or, click Select All,
Or, click Select If Needs Update to select only modules with a check mark in the ‘Needs
Update’ column,
Or. click Select . . . to select modules by a criterion,
Or, click Select None. (Note that when no modules are selected, an update cannot occur.)
4 (Optional) To force all selected modules to be updated, uncheck the ‘Only update if versions
are different’ check box. When this option is checked, modules are updated only when the
firmware version is different from the firmware currently loaded on the module.
5 Click Update Firmware (at the bottom of the page). MRC starts the update of all selected
modules.
One or more progress bars appear in the ‘Description’ field of modules being updated. When
a module is completed, “Update succeeded” appears in place of the progress bar.
When the update of all modules is complete, MRC displays a log of the update:
6 Repeat this procedure for each control card of the router. (An expanded NV8576-Plus typi-
cally can have 4 control cards, 2 in each frame.)
Do not repeat this procedure of IOXM cards. It is not necessary and very time-consuming.
Note
If MRC fails to update certain cards, try the update again for those cards. If the update
fails repeatedly, contact
Grass Valley Technical Support .
Note
In practice, it is advisable to update each control card first, and then update IOXM cards.
