Instructions 

Here are my directions.  It is overkill for you, but I suspect I will be sending this out to others as well. If you see the need for additional details let me know.

 

  1. Save the firmware file on your PC.  Ex. “Encrypted_LP1501_1_29_1_0633_FS_2_23.crc”
  2. Connect to the Mercury board.  See Knowledge article if you need a refresher.  https://knowledge.blub0x.com/Support/Hardware_Setup/Network_Configuration_for_Controllers

    2. On the Mercury board set DIP switch 2 to “On”
    3. Bring up Edge browser enter IP address 192.168.0.251.  Enter your login or password, or set DIP 1 to use the default password admin/password
  3. Once connected, select Diagnostic Menu
  4. Select Browse to navigate to the location where you stored the Upload file.
  5. Navigate to the location and select the firmware file you need for your controller.
