8. Updating the ACCO NET system software to version 1.5
The ACCO NET version 1.5 works only with the Debian 8 (“jessie”) operating system
for the 64-bit PC architecture (amd64). The ACCO NET system update can be carried
out on a computer / virtual machine where the Debian operating system is installed in
the above-mentioned version. Otherwise, it will be necessary to transfer the system to
a new device.
For security reasons, you can not log on to the operating system remotely as a root
administrator. If you want to connect remotely to the system and have the root
administrator privileges, you must first log in as the user whose account you created,
e.g. during installation of the system. Enter the “su” command and press ENTER.
Then enter the administrator password and press ENTER.
8.1 Checking the currently installed system version
In the console window, on a computer or a virtual machine with the Debian operating system
installed:
1. Log in as a user (e.g. “satel”).
2. Check which version of the operating system is currently installed by entering the
command:
cat /etc/debian_version
and pressing ENTER.
3. The system version number will be displayed. It can be, for example:
7.11
4. Check on what architecture the current version of the operating system is based by
entering the command:
uname –a
and pressing ENTER.
5. The system architecture version will be displayed. The possible answer may look like this:
Linux xxxx 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.88-1 yyyy GNU/Linux
xxxx – host name for the system that was configured during the installation of the
Debian operating system;
yyyy – version of the architecture on which the Debian operating system is based. It
can be 64 bit – x86_64 or 32 bit – i686.
8.2 System update procedure
The ACCO NET system update can be carried out on a computer / virtual machine
with the Debian 8 (“jessie”) operating system for the 64-bit PC architecture (amd64).
1. Log in as the administrator in the console window (login: root).
If you are logged in to the console as other user, enter the “su” command and press
ENTER. Then enter the password for the root administrator and press ENTER.
