UPDATE
The update feature allows you to upgrade HVR software. The current HVR configuration settings are not deleted or replaced during the update process. You can perform an update from either a local or a network location.
The unit allows you to configure the following settings:
•Method: Allows you update the software from a local or network location. If NETWORK is selected, the FTP server’s IP address must be provided.

–All USB devices, except the USB device containing the update file, must be disconnected before you can attach the USB drive.
–Format the USB drive using the HVR erase media utility before starting the update process.
–If the system cannot find a valid update file, the “Cannot find valid update file.” message appears. Verify that a valid update file is located in the USB device’s root directory, and then repeat the procedure.
–If the system finds a valid update file, the “S/W update is in progress.” message appears.
•FTP Server: Allows you to enter the FTP server’s IP address. The box is available if the Method setting is NETWORK. If updating from a network server:
–The HVR network settings must be configured.
–If the update server IP address is not configured, the “Change update server to Update Server for all entries.” message appears.
–If the incorrect update server IP address is configured or the system cannot located the update server, the “Update Server access failed.” message appears.
–If the system finds a valid update server and file, the “S/W update is in progress.” message appears. The unit must be turned on, connected to a network, and you must be logged on at the administrator level to update the HVR.
