Mitsubishi NCU Required Firmware Upgrades

Before configuring your control for communication with MachineMetrics, please contact your Citizen machine vendor and request that your Mitsubishi NCU firmware be updated to the latest version. This will ensure that MachineMetrics can access control data from the machine without system freezes or interruption.

Once you have confirmed that your firmware is up to date, communicate with your Customer Success Manager to ensure your gateway meets the proper requirements. Once you have spoken with your CSM, you can proceed in configuring your M& for communication.
