Updating MX-OS on an MX-2424
Whenever a new version of MX-OS becomes available it will be posted to the TASCAM Web site for download (http://www.tascam.com). Self-extracting files for both Mac and PC will be posted along with documentation in PDF format. The steps below detail the process of updating the version of MX-OS in an MX-2424: 1. 2. 3. 4. Download the latest version of MX-OS from the TASCAM web site. Place the file into the desired folder that will contain the MX-OS file and its documentation. It is a self-extracting archive so simply double-clicking on the file will extract the MX-OS file and documentation files into that folder. Launch the ViewNet GUI application. Insert the TL Media card that will be used to store the new MX-OS and update the MX-2424. (NOTE: Any data on the TL Media card will be lost during this process.) From the ViewNet Network Screen highlight the MX-2424 that has the TL Media card inserted or make it active in the Edit Screen by clicking on its Connection button as shown below. The button will turn blue and the MX-2424 will appear in the Edit Screen.
5.
Select Update MX Software from the Machine Menu.
Locate the MX-OS file that was created by the self-extracting archive and Open it. The TL Media card will be formatted, this takes about 2 minutes. (NOTE: This may take longer on a Macintosh. When using a Mac, all applications that are using the Ethernet port must be shut down.) Then the new version of MX-OS will be written to the TL Media card. The LCD will display the progress of writing data blocks to the TL Media card. When finished, Update Software Completed will be displayed in the LCD and instructions will be displayed in ViewNet. 8. Leave the TL Media card in its slot and cycle the power on the MX-2424. The Flash ROM in the MX-2424 will be updated with the MX-OS from the TL Media card. 9. When the update is completed, cycle the power on the MX-2424 again to complete the update. 10. If the RC-2424 is connected then its software will be automatically updated.
