Firmware Updates
The Devices tab in the M-Trust™ Console allows you to manage your devices and update the firmware and models.
To manage a Device, the Device needs to be assigned to your M-Trust™ Console account first. If you don't see your Device in the Devices tab on the home page of the M-Trust™ Console, please contact the M-Trust™ Support.
Please be aware that connecting to your device requires a browser with Bluetooth support, so (at the time of writing) this would be the latest version of the Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or any Chromium based browser.
