Firmware version 2.x
It is strongly recommended to upgrade the FPA-5000 panel series to the latest firmware V3.x.
After upgrading the MPC-xxxx-B / MPC-xxxx-C to firmware V3.x, the panel controller will not
require any license and address cards. Additionally, the graphical user interface will change to
match the AVENAR panel graphical user interface.
Firmware version 3.x
Firmware V3.x combines AVENAR panel series and FPA-5000 panel series in one panel
network. This implies that when AVENAR panel and AVENAR keypad are running firmware V3.x,
they only contain bound product features and peripheral devices that are also available with
MPC-xxxx-B and MPC-xxxx-C panel controllers.
Depending on the hardware platform, firmware V3.x is available with two different file
extensions:
– *.CBIN: MPC-xxxx-Band MPC-xxxx-C
– *.SWU: AVENAR panel and AVENAR keypad
Bosch recommends to upgrade the FPA-5000 panel series to the latest firmware V3.x.
Notice!
From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, panel firmware version 3.x is in maintenance
mode. During this period, new versions will be released containing fixes for critical bugs and
critical security gaps. No new product features, LSN peripheral devices, GUI languages, and
normative changes are planned to be added.
After December 31, 2025 running firmware V3.x on panels that are connected to an Ethernet
interface or network increases security risks. It is strongly recommended to perform a
security risk assessment. When security risks are identified, it is mandatory to upgrade to
AVENAR panel and run latest firmware V4.x.
