Upgrading System Software
The CPU contains a default operating system, a running operating system, and a file containing configuration items. When you perform a software upgrade, the downloaded file is placed in temporary storage. If you are not using a DHCP server to update your software (see IP Parameters on page 39) you can use methods described in this section.
You can upgrade system software three ways:
∙Using a local file on your PC (see Figure 42).
∙Using a TFTP server (see Figure 43 on page 75).
∙Using XMODEM through the CPU local port.
