4.23 Automatic Update Configuration
In the Automatic update item it is possible to set the automatic configuration update. This
choice enables the router to download the configuration and the newest firmware from the
server automatically. The configuration and firmware files are stored on the server. To prevent
possible unwanted manipulation of the files, downloaded file (tar.gz format) is controlled. At
first, the format of the downloaded file is checked. Then the type of architecture and each file
in the archive (tar.gz file) is controlled.
By Enable automatic update of configuration it is possible to enable automatic configuration
update.
By Enable automatic update of firmware it is possible to enable firmware update.
