SMTP Mail Server

Since the MBR95 does not have its own email server, to receive alerts you must enable an SMTP server. This is possible

through most email services (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)

Each SMTP server will have different specifications for setup, so you have to look those up separately. The following is an

example using Gmail:

System Software

Firmware Upgrade

allows the administrator to

load new firmware onto the router to add new

features or fix defects. If you are happy with the

operation of the router, you may not want to

upgrade just because a new version is available.

Check the firmware release notes for information

to decide if you should upgrade or not.

Current Firmware Version:

Shows the number of

the current firmware and the date it was updated.

Available Firmware Version:

If there is a new

firmware version available, this will list the version

number. Click “Check Again” to have the router

check the newest firmware.

Factory Reset:

Set default settings to match the new firmware. This is safest, as settings may have changed. You should

back up your current settings and restore them after the new firmware is loaded.

Automatically check for new firmware:

Check for an available firmware update once a day.

Automatic (Internet):

Have the router download the file and perform the upgrade with no user interaction.

Manual Firmware Upload:

Upload the router firmware from an attached computer.
