Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode

The MVP-5200i requires a decision on the type of connection to be made between it and the Master.
To establish a Master connection:
1. From the Protected Setup page, select System Settings.
2. Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and Ethernet (FIG. 29).
Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over wireless Ethernet, transferring
firmware KIT files over a USB connection is recommended, and only when the panel
is connected to a power supply. If battery power or the wireless connection fails
during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

Ethernet over USB

The MVP-5200i device is the first G4 device to support a new Ethernet over USB driver for panel
downloads and firmware updates. This means that the device can connect to a host computer for updates
through its Mini USB port instead of through a standard Ethernet port (FIG. 30).

Because of its Ethernet over USB capabilities, the MVP-5200i also follows a different procedure for
downloading firmware than with other G4 devices. Firmware downloads require use of the USB
Programming Cable (FG10-5965) and a computer running Windows XP.

A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel's mini-USB port to a corresponding
USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).
A wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master
via a wireless connection to the network.
