How to update
XChange boxes on firmware v5.0 to v5.3 can simply be updated over-the-air, via the ‘Update Push’ function in Portal360. This is a two-step update – please follow onscreen instructions or refer to the update documentation.
If you are running an older version than v5.0, this hardware should be swapped as soon as possible, as the firmware is out of date and no longer supported. Please contact your Key Account Manager to discuss the details of how to swap your hardware.
If you have any questions about this update, or about any aspect of your XChange service, please contact your Key Account Manager or the Marlink Service Desk.
