If it cannot access the Internet directly (perhaps due to a web proxy or other firewalls), then a page will be shown that causes your browser to download the required file. Save this file to disk and then manually upload it as described in the next section.

Purchase Options

Certain firmware features may be offered separately from the base unit, in order to reduce the initial cost for the Server Remote Control unit.

NOTE: If you wish to upgrade after the system is in operation, go to the Manage Firmware page and scroll down to the section entitled Purchase Options.

Look for a unique code, such as: 4-C80C-B960-1-0. If you provide this code to the technical support department, they can give you an unlock code that will open any feature you request.
