With the aid of the Microsoft update service and depending on your configu-
ration in the
Security
view you can keep the operating system up-to-date. On
the other hand, you can update the entire software of the applications card
including all applications by running an update package provided from your
reseller. For this, proceed as described in the following instructions.
The update package for the system software is provided to you as a ZIP file by your
sales partner.
To carry out the software update and update the system software on the
applications card, proceed as follows:
1. Create a backup of your configuration data according to the indications in
"Saving the configuration (menu Maintenance)", page 15
.
2. Copy the ZIP file with the new version of the system software onto a USB stick
and plug the USB stick into one of the USB sockets on the applications card.
Note:
Make sure the ZIP file is not located in a folder. Place it in the stick's
root directory.
3. Open the WebAdmin, log in as Administrator and navigate to the
Multimedia
/
Maintenance
view.
4. Click the
Software update
button.
The view for uploading the system software appears.
5. Click the
Browse
button.
The applications card runs through the available drives and lists all the update
packages found in a list box.
6. Select the update package you want and click the
Unzip
button.
The applications card analyses the data in the update package and displays
information on the new software. This may take a while.

Install
button.
Once the installation is completed, the applications card is restarted and the
