Automatic Firmware Update
The
Automatic Firmware Update
page allows you to configure an automatic update of the QX1000’s firmware (software image) as it becomes
available on the server. When this service is enabled, on the configured day and time QX1000 will automatically check for a new available firmware
on the server and will either notify the administrator or update the firmware right away, depending on the configured settings.
The server configuration can be done manually.
Please Note:
Independent on the selected server type, there should be an “
auto-update
” folder in the root directory of the server. QX1000 will check
for any new firmware in that specific folder only. Besides the firmware *.bin file, the “
auto-update
” folder should contain supplementary file(s) to point
to the correct firmware file.
The detailed instructions on the functionality of automatic firmware update as well as server configuration are described in the “
Automatic Firmware
Update”
document which you can find at the Epygi Web support portal.
This page consists of the following components:
