6 AquaControl™ Software
The mXa-1502 uses Ashly's proprietary built-in
server based software for setup and control. It
is not necessary to install an application onto
your computer or mobile device because the
program is already resident on the mXa-1502
and runs on your device browser.
The mXa-1502 continues to be enhanced.
Please verify your current firmware and
update as necessary.
To Update Firmware:
After completing Network Discovery
check the installed firmware version by going to
the main software Dashboard page.
Check for the latest firmware on the Ashly
website. If a higher version is available, click the
link and download the new mXa-1502 [*.bin] file.
To update firmware, go to the [Settings >
General Settings] page, then click the "Update"
button next to the current firmware revision
text. Click the [+ Firmware File] to browse for the
firmware file you just downloaded. Finally, click
[Install Update] to begin the update process. The
update may take up to 10 minutes to complete
and will confirm when finished. Do not remove
power from the unit during the update process.
