System Updates
System Updates allows you to schedule regular inquiries to an Update Server on the Internet
for available E-8100 updates. The E-8100 checks automatically for updates by contacting the
Update Server periodically.
System Updates also allows users to obtain updated versions of E-8100 user software (utilities)
and install them onto client computers that connect to the E-8100. The updated applications
are first downloaded from the Update Server to a partition on the E-8100 HDD. Users access
the E-8100 over the Internet and download the updated applications onto client computers
and then manually install them.
You can also view and download updates at any time using the Check Now feature (requires
FACI or a Remote Desktop connection; see page 111 ). Use Check Now to view and manually
download updates that are available for installation (Patches tab) and/or view a list of updates
that have already been installed (History tab).
You can also launch Check Now by clicking on an update notification in the task bar on the
E-8100 monitor.
System Updates can be accessed in the following ways:
• Directly from a FACI-equipped E-8100.
• From a client computer through a Remote Desktop connection (must be enabled in Setup
and on the client computer; see “Enabling Remote Desktop” on page 112).
• From a client computer through WebTools > Configure > Launch Configure
• From a client computer through Command WorkStation > Server > Setup > Server >
System Update
For a detailed procedure, see “To schedule System Updates” on page 108.

Updates.
