tained after flashing the firmware. Therefore, they do not have to be installed again.

Requirements Requirements for flashing
During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware is only
loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
– All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first partition
of the SD card.
– This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards).
– The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
phoe-
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
– This SD card has been inserted into the device.
– The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
phoe-
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names or in
the following folders on the SD card:
Firmware/install-ubi.mpc83xx.p7s
Firmware/ubifs.img.mpc83xx.p7s

connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
