Important Notes Prior to Upgrade
VITEC periodically releases new firmware versions that include critical updates as well as
feature enhancements.
MGW Ace Decoder OG firmware and software upgrade process involves uploading a .TAR file
within the unit HTTPS user interface, allowing the unit to extract the required files and
perform internal updates. Uploading time of the upgrade file can take up to few minutes and
may vary from one computer to another. It also depends on network speed and the
connection's quality between the computer and the MGW Ace Decoder OG. On regular LAN, it
takes only few seconds.
During the upgrade, while the file is uploaded, the web-based HTTPS interface polls the unit
status. This polling attempt occurs also during the actual execution of the upgrade inside the
decoder. To avoid interruption to the upgrade process, do not close the active browser window
used for uploading the file.
Read carefully the step-by-step procedure below and pay extra attention to notes and
warnings.
