zImage
The Linux operating system.
When clicking on the Upgrade button, the AcquiSuite will again download the requested firmware image file. The
AcquiSuite will take a few seconds to verify the file checksum and prompt you with an “Install” button. Click the install
button and the AcquiSuite will install the firmware update and reboot itself to make the changes take effect.
Do not power down the AcquiSuite during any step of the AcquiSuite firmware update process. Doing so may corrupt the
system and render the AcquiSuite unusable.
Diagnostics
Host Lookup
The Host Lookup page provides the ability to do some basic network tests. These are as follows:
Ping
: send an echo request to the specified host.
Traceroute
: Send an echo request to the target address and attempt to locate every router in between the AcquiSuite and
that address.
Nslookup
: convert the dns name to an IP address, useful for testing the functionality of the DNS server configured in the
Network/Setup webpage.
To run a network test, enter the ip address or dns name in the field provided, check the checkbox next to the test you wish to
use, and click the OK button. Multiple tests can be specified.
Connection Test
The connection test page will attempt to establish an HTTP session with the specified upload server. Click the “begin test”
to start this process. Information will be printed in black. Success responses will be printed in Green, failure messages will
be printed in Red. A sample upload test follows:
