Updating Controller Firmware
Warning! Do not attempt this procedure without first contacting
MCE Technical Support. Failure to do so can result in cata-
strophic failure of the iBox.
Firmware Update allows you to install updated iControl operating software. It is likely that two
firmware program files will be updated. They are:
• Bootrom.mce, the iControl boot-up program.
• vxworks.mce, the iControl IMP computer program.
To update iControl firmware:
1. Copy the new Bootrom.mce (Bootrom folder) and vxworks.mce (IMP folder) files to the
desktop of the computer being used to perform the firmware update.
2. Use iView to connect to the iBox on which the firmware is being updated.
3. If you want to save the configuration settings for later re-loading, select Save from the
File > Configuration menu. In the Save Configuration File dialog, type a name in the File
name: box and click Save. Please refer to “Saving Current Parameters to a Configuration
File” on page 8-21.
4. Select Firmware Update from the File menu.
5. Click Yes in the dialog “This action will automatically deactivate all screens. Proceed?”
