Web Server Help Files Collection
Advanced Setup (Configuration Tab)
When opening the
Software Update
page with all the default
settings preserved, the Web Server connects to the Ashtech
public FTP server and searches for a possible upgrade in the
dedicated folder.
The result of that search appears on the same page, in the
Version
pane. Either a new version is available, and in this
case the new version is mentioned (and you can see the name
of the upgrade file in the
File Name
field), or there is no
upgrade available, in which case only the version of the
firmware currently installed in the receiver is displayed in the
Version
pane (and the
File Name
field is blank).
If a new version is available, you can upgrade your receiver by
simply clicking on the
Upload
button and waiting until you are
informed of the end of the installation phase (this may take
up to 30 minutes).
The different parameters shown on the
Software Update
page
are described below.
