Overview
Updater provides functions that enable network communication with Content Delivery System
(hereinafter CDS) to install firmware, MEAP applications and system options.
• Firmware Installation
Updater function enables users to distribute firmware through CDS via Internet. Particularly
on e-Maintenance/UGW (called NETEYE in Japan)-enabled devices, firmware can be
updated remotely, which effectively slashes costs incurred in field services.
• MEAP Application/System Option Installation
By linking devices to CDS and License Management System (providing the function to
manage licenses; hereinafter LMS), applications can be installed in devices via Updater,
regardless of those not embedded (MEAP application) or embedded (system options) in
devices.
