Chapter 12 Configuration/General/Update

On this page the device can be configured to poll an update server (a normal web server). A file pointed to by an URL is read from the update server and executed. This is an efficient mechanism to keep a large number of devices up to date. See chapter 13 “Configuration of the Update Server” for a detailed description of the available commands.

URL

An URL, for example http://192.168.0.1/update/script-ip800.txt, pointing to a file whose commands are executed.

If the URL ends with a slash '/', for example http://192.168.0.1/update/, the device is adding the file name update-ipxxx.htm automatically, deduced from the device short name (for example update-ip800.htm). Furthermore some placeholders may be used in the URL-String as described in the update servers scfg command description.

These placeholders may be used e.g. to address a device-specific directory (http:// 192.168.1.2/update/#h/script.txt) or to generate HTTP-GET parameters (http:// 192.168.0.1/update/script.php?mac=#m).

Some standard parameters are always appended to the query part of the URL:

Name

ver

BOOT

PROT

CHECK BMC CFG

CFG-BACKUP-NUM

Value

human readable version information (as shown in the Version' line of the general page (display, for programmatic use rather apply #F etc.)

last serial for boot command last serial for prot command last serial for check command last serial for bmc command last serial for cfg command

last backup number for scfg command

Example

6.00dvl-sr1 IP6000[07-60600.03], Bootcode[145], HW[104] 16384/131072

336

07-6060003

20070511-01

If access to the command file requires authentication it must be configured within the HTTP-Client of the device.
