Mag 250 firmware. Mag250 Micro Firmware Update

There are several options for the firmware of this IPTV consoles - via the Internet or from a USB drive. The first option is the most convenient. We will look at it.

To update the ITPV firmware, the INFOMIR MAG-245/250 console is enough to have a connected Internet and specify update servers. In the main menu, click Settings, go to System settings. Select servers there.

First visit B. Servers\u003e General. There you must specify any NTP server of exact time. It is necessary so that the prefix uses the correct current date. I pointed ntp.mobatime.ru.

Then go to Servers\u003e Advanced And specify two bootstrap URL servers and an image URL.

Bootstrap URL: igMP: //224.50.0.50: 9000

URL image: http://mag.infomir.com.ua/245/imageUpdate.

Exit this menu with the EXIT button, go to Settings\u003e Update. There you can choose the update mode. I recommend choosing - with confirmation.

In this case, the prefix will check the availability of updates itself and offer to update at your discretion.

In the same place, clicking F2 you can run the update manually if it is available.

If you are not familiar with this set of letters and numbers, then you might think that this is a magician at number 250. In fact, this is not connected with the world of magic and magic. MAG-250 is a television prefix that makes it easy to start the project in IP networks. This is also a kind of magic of modern technology, because before there were no such devices on the market. They began to gain their popularity recently, as a relatively new product in Russia. Now you can see such gadgets in almost every home.

In the firmware MAG-250 there is nothing complicated if you follow the instructions and do everything right

These television consoles are most often used by Internet providers, content aggregators and other services providing services based on IPTV, VOD and OTT. That is, such devices are designed to open digital TV channels, play streaming video and other similar things.

What do you need to know before the firmware?

To begin with, you will need to define the version of the installed software, as it will depend on this, which firmware file will be in the future to download. Therefore, your procedure is as follows:

1. Open the television setup settings and find the "Firmware" item.
2. Now look at the version. Now we will compare it with the data, which are presented and conditionally divided below. This is done for the convenience that you later appreciate.

So, our three conventional separations for fosters:

1. Your version is 2248.
2. Your version is lower than 2248.
3. And the last option is 2281.

If with version 2281 everything is extremely clear and understandable (you have installed the latest version operating systemAnd you do not need to reflash anything), then in other two cases we will tell in detail what you need to do.

Version 2248.

1. First of all, download firmware files (only two of them) on a computer or laptop. Owners of the MAG-250 consoles with version 2248 can update their devices to version 2281. Therefore, in files there will be documents Bootstrap_2281 and imageupdate

(http://www.lanta-net.ru/files/bootstrap_250_2281)

(http://www.lanta-net.ru/files/imageUpdate_250_2281)

1. Now you need to change the name of the downloaded documentation. Click on the file with the right mouse button and choose "rename". We remove all the numbers, screenshots, emphasis and other attributes, leaving only the words bootstrap and imageupdate.
2. Now we will need to format the USB flash drive in fat format To do this, in the My Computer menu, click right-click on our media and choose "format". Here in the tabs, find the type of system FAT32 and negotiate it (check mark or other notmerizing item).
3. Next, we go to the flash drive itself and create a new folder that you must name MAG strictly so, in any way. No need to write big letters, or gaps, commas. Because it will affect the firmware process. And since we do not want any trouble to appear - we are clearly followed by instructions. Transfer the firmware files from two to the created MAG250 folder.
4. So, the flash drive is ready, and you can connect it to the console. Turn off it from the outlet, then turn on and simultaneously cling the menu key on the remote control.
5. Now the entire dialog box has opened before your gaze, where you need to select Upgrade Menu. You can make it possible by transferring a white strip of choice buttons to move on the remote control up and down, then press the right arrow key. If you have no such item in the menu, then choose the Upgrade Tools, and then USB Bootstrap.
6. So, it remains to wait for the completion of the flashing process, as a result of which you will receive on the screen alert on the successful operation. Next, the device is rebooted.

I could not flash what to do?

In this case, you need to repeat the fifth and sixth items of the previous instruction again. If this does not help, then in the dialog box after the fifth point, choose Boot Mode. And change the indicator on the Nand2. Then click on EXIT & SAVE. Such an operation should help if there are problems with installing the firmware. Otherwise, it is recommended to contact a specialized center.

Firmware version lower than 2248

In fact, there is nothing terrible in this, except that you have to fulfill the foregoing instructions twice: the first time you update the device up to 2248, and the second time - to more relevant. It is enough for you to download additional files from the firmware 2248. It will be bootstrap_250_2248 by reference (http://www.lanta-net.ru/files/bootstrap_250_2248 and imageupdate_250_2248) by reference (http://www.lanta-net.ru/files/ imageUpdate_250_2248). And the process itself is the same, repeat once again as described above. Therefore, friends, carefully study the material to avoid trouble.

3. Rename the file Bootstrap_250 / 254 / 270.Clean in Bootstrap
4. Downloaded files must be placed at the USB root of the drive (on a USB drive must be file system FAT32.) (Example: uSB drive G: \\ MAG250 \\), in the MAG250 folder there must be 2 files: Bootstrap and imageUpdate.

6. Next, insert a USB drive into the connector on the rear panel of the console.
7. Turn on the power console and immediately after switching on, press the button "MENU" on the console to get into system menu firmware. If everything is done correctly - the screen should look like shown in the picture.
