Power Management > Software Upgrade

The

Software Upgrade

form of Power Management allows you to upgrade

the Power Management software for a selected serial port. The first line of the
form shows the

latest software version available

. The presence of an

Upgrade

button indicates that a new software version for that master or slave

port is available.

To upgrade the software for a selected port, perform the following steps:

1. From the top menu, select

Access

; from the left menu, select

Power

Management

; from the tabs, select

Software Upgrade

The system brings up the

Software Upgrade

form:

2. Select the

Refresh

button to ensure that all software information on the

form is up-to-date.

3. From the Software Version list, select the software you wish to update,

and then select the

Update

button to the right of the listed version.

The above form example does not have an

Update

button associated

with any of the software versions listed which means that they are up-
to-date and there is no need to update them.

4. Select the

Apply Changes

button at the bottom of the configuration

window to save your configuration.
