That is all after the upgrade to mlinux 5.0?

Which mlinux image did you build/install?

The mlinux-base-image does not include all language support, such as nodejs.
The mlinux-factory-image may be required.

HI jreiss,

Link mlinux:

I meant:
Are you getting these errors after the upgrade to 5.0 and not before the upgrade?

14

Hi Kersing,

I only get error after upgrade to 5.0.

Thanks,

15

Hi Kersing,

Can i downgrade to old version ?

16

I don’t know. I haven’t had time to look at 5.0 yet. I was away on vacation up till yesterday.
Check the MultiTech site and if not clear ask in their forum.

I’ll look into building the software for 5.0 in the next few weeks when I have some spare time.

Hi Kersing,
Thank you for your reply.

Hi,

I have the version MTCDTIP-LEU1-266A Firmware 5.0.0-AEP, and now I have 1 button to select :
image

It’s necessary to install the file “installer.sh” ? My server is offline why ?

It’s necessary to install the file “installer.sh”

With 5.0 you should not even try as there seem to be incompatible changes.

Once an update is available you have a choice, use the default one which uses udp or use the installer to get a more reliable connection to the backend.

Hello
After the upgrade my AEP gateway to firmware 5.00 I got all some error message’s from the installer. (You need to run this agian after the upgrade)
Somthing shuld missing and he could not find the radio.

But after run the installer.sh with “sudo installer.sh”
I was going fine and my Multitech Conduit AEP is online with the new firmware.
I think that Multitech has take care more about securitie.

Jac, maybee change the instruktion. run installer with “sudo installer.sh”
