Hello all,

I recently acquired a used MAX700. I am totally new to this type of device. I had some experience with networking, etc., however, this is a bit more complex than the devices I’m familiar with, here are the details of the device:
Model: MAX700
Product Code: MAS-GN2-R
Serial number entered via incontrol2, states it is out of warranty as of July 2013.

It is running firmware:
Current firmware version: 5.4.9
No update available

My primary question is in requires to the firmware.

  1. What the value in updating to V6.XXX, features? capabilities?
  2. What would it require to update the firmware? I attempted to access the warranty subscription procurement area of the site. no luck.
  3. Any other particulars I should know about my version of the device?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks! That was most helpful and I have successfully upgraded the firmware.

Another problem is that I’m missing the front panel DC terminal block with the two screens in it. Is there a place I can purchase one? Is there a part number? I’ve searched the available operators manual with no luck.

TIA
