The dialog shows the existing software versions:

Restoring the Backup Version

“Restore” replaces the software version stored with the backup version of the software. The relevant configuration files are replaced at the same time. A cold start is required to make the software versions effective. A warm start has no effect whatsoever.

TFTP Software Update

For a tftp update you need a tftp server on which the software to be loaded is stored.

The URL identifies the path to the software stored on the tftp server. The URL is in the format
tftp://IP address of the tftp server/path name/file name
(e.g. tftp://192.168.1.1/device/device.bin).

See Restart.

TFTP Bootcode Update

For a tftp update you need a tftp server to store the required bootcode.

The URL identifies the path to the bootcode stored on the tftp server. The URL is in the format
tftp://IP address of the tftp server/path name/file name
(for example: tftp://192.168.1.1/device/device_bootrom.bin).

Note: If an interrupt occurs during a Bootcode update, the device is unrecoverable. Perform this update under the supervision of the Hirschmann support desk.

See Restart.

HTTP Software Update

For a software update via a file selection window, the device software must be on a data carrier that you can access from your PC.

Automatic software update by ACA

The device also allows you to perform an automatic software update using the external memory. You will find the relevant details in the document “Basic Configuration User”, chapter “Automatic Software Update by external memory“.
