Automatic Firmware Update
The
Automatic Firmware Update
page allows you to configure an automatic update of the Quadro’s firmware (software image) as it becomes
available on the server. When this service is enabled, on the configured day and time Quadro 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 or through the DHCP server. In case of DHCP server replying configuration, the corresponding
adjustments should be done on the DHCP server to automatically point the Quadro to the destination where the firmware is stored.
Please Note:
Independent on the selected server type, there should be an “
auto-update
” folder in the root directory of the server. Quadro 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:
The
Enable Automatically Firmware Update
checkbox selection enables the automatic firmware update service on the Quadro.
Attention:
When the older firmware is installed on the Quadro, the system configuration will be lost and the device will be factory reset.
The first manipulation buttons group on this page allows you to choose between the manually configured firmware server and the server defined by
the DHCP server.

•
Assign automatically via DHCP
- choose this selection
if the Quadro acts as a DHCP client in its WAN
interface. In this case the firmware server’s configuration
will be automatically obtained from the DHCP server.
This selection requires previous configuration on the
firmware server and will work only if the “
auto-update
”
directory is created on the TFTP server. The DHCP
server should also be configured to provide the "TFTP
server name" parameter (option 66) to the Quadro.
The second manipulation buttons group on this page allows
you to select the frequency of checking for a new update.
•
Check and notify
– choose this selection if you only
wish to be notified about the new available firmware on
