System Upgrade
section allows you to manage your SpeedTouch™’s system
software and upload or apply a new system software.

provides storage room for two system software packages: the active system
software the SpeedTouch™ is currently running and the passive one.
The
System software properties
table provides information on the active
software:
A

and passive system software and to:
Upload system software

SpeedTouch™ (it should be listed in the
Software Versions
table).
2
Click
Switch Over
to restart the SpeedTouch™ and activate the passive system
software version as active version.
During restart, the SpeedTouch™ will switch the passive and active system software;
the previous active system software will be stored as passive system software
version.

!
Uploading system software may take a few minutes. Meanwhile do
not browse to another SpeedTouch™ page in order not to interrupt the
upload process.
!
Switching the system software versions may take a few minutes. Do
not power off your SpeedTouch™, or interrupt the switch process in
any other way.
If for any reason the switch-over failed, the system software version that
was running as active software version will be retained. To ensure correct
operation of the SpeedTouch™ after recovery, the previous passive system
software may need to be removed; instead the active system software will
be duplicated as passive system software version.
