As shown in example myBOX is at 192.168.13.63 simply just used ntpdate IP and time has been successfully adjusted.

2. Upgrade

Inside the upgrade tab, you can provide myBOX an upgrade file usually named: myBOX-8.X.X.upd.gpg (X – depends on the current version) which you can simply just download from our webpage and then provide the file to the myBOX, after the file is provided upgrade will start. You can always check if you are on the latest version or not by clicking on “CHECK”.

Please be extremely careful and do not interrupt myBOX during the upgrade process, interrupting the upgrade process could lead to damaging internal software of device which would need the intervention of mySCADA technician which is NOT covered by WARRANTY. Also please be patient myBOX upgrade can take up to 5 minutes at max.

Please make sure, that your SMS has been activated before (As an example putting it into phone).
