Autoupdate settings
SBC can automatically retrieve configuration and software version files from the Auto-configuration
server (hereinafter referred to as "server") with a set period of time.
After downloading a configuration, SBC will wait for completion of all active calls before applying the new
configuration. Either the configuration will be applied with the new firmware before rebooting.
The firmware version description file contains information about the firmware available on the server
(versions and file names). There the time for updating can also be set. The file format should be as follows:
<FIRMWARE version number>;<FIRMWARE file name>;<allowed update time, hour>
–
Number of firmware version
— defines completely, including assembling version;
–
Firmware file name
must have .bin extension;
–
It is not necessary to assign permitted update time.
SBC will be updated as soon as active calls are finished. If you specify the time, SBC will be updated only
within this time range.
Example of firmware description file:
1.8.0.99; smg2016_firmware_sbc_1.8.0.99.bin
1.8.0.100; smg2016_firmware_sbc_1.8.0.100.bin;9-13
