from the network.
Procedures for updating the software
Check current software version:

in your web browser which will show you the software
version. For example: Enter “http://192.168.0.200 / ver” in Microsoft IE6 at URL location, you will
see the software version “Software Version = 1.11 Revision 0905.1641” which indicates the current
software version is 1.11
