Managing and Installing 
Firmware Versions
You can check the version information of firmware 
installed on devices (boxes, control panel banks) in an 
island and off-island. You can also correct version 
mismatches and install packages.
Displaying Package Status
1
Open the MLS Manager Home > Version > Info/
Install menu (65101.01).
2
Select a tab to change the display (Island or Off-
Island).
3
Press the [Detect/Refresh] button.
The [Island] tab is used to detect and display a list of 
t
he boxes assigned to an island and the control panel 
banks configured in a control panel assigned to a 
switcher in an island.
The [Off-Island] tab is used to detect and display a list 
o
f the boxes not assigned to an island, and the control 
panel banks configured in a control panel and the 
control panel banks not configured in a control panel 
that are not assigned to a switcher in an island.
If there is a version mismatch between box/control 
p
anel bank devices, “Incorrect Version” is displayed 
in the list. In this case, for boxes/control panel banks 
configured in a switcher, you can resolve the 
mismatch using the System Configuration > Version 
> Information menu (20401.11) in the MLS-X1 
menu.
For details about correcting a mismatch, see 
“Repairing a Version Mismatch” (page 456).

Refresh] button to run box/control panel bank 
d
