Protectli 4G/5G Modem Firmware

Protectli 4G LTE Modem Firmware

Overview

Protectli offers 2 options for a 4G LTE Modem. The 4G LTE products can be found on the main 4G LTE page. There is an external modem, the IDG400 and an internal modem, the MDG100. The IDG400 can be found on this product page. The MDG100 can be found on this product page. The MDG100 intermal 4G LTE Modem is compatible with all of the Vaults except the FW6 series. Not surprisingly, these units require firmware (FW) to run and occasionally there are FW updates. This document describes how to update the FW and contains a table with the latest FW versions. Note that for the Internal 4G LTE Modem, MDG100, an operating system (OS) must be installed and configured to recognize the internal modem. See the Knowledge Base for specific OS configuration of the MDG100.
