System Upgrade The System Upgrade section allows you to manage your SpeedTouch™’s system software and upload or apply a new system software.

For extended management reasons and roll-back scenarios your SpeedTouch™ provides storage room for two system software packages: the active system software the SpeedTouch™ is currently running and the passive one.

The System software properties table provides information on the active software:

A link is provided to check for the latest available system software (based on the information provided in the System software properties table and your SpeedTouch™’s serial number.

The Software Versions table allows you to overview the currently stored active and passive system software and to:

Upload system software.

Switch to another system software version.

Upload system software Proceed as follows:

1Make sure you have a valid system software for your SpeedTouch™ readily available on your local disk.

Use the link provided to check for the latest available system software.

2If a Passive system software version is listed, click Remove Passive to remove it from the SpeedTouch™ storage.

3Click Browse... to specify the system software file on your local drive you wish to upload.

4Click Upload to upload the system software to your SpeedTouch™.

Uploading system software may take a few minutes. Meanwhile do ! not browse to another SpeedTouch™ page in order not to interrupt

the upload process.

Switchtoanothersystem software version

If the upload was successful the uploaded system software will be listed as Passive

system software version.

To upgrade your SpeedTouch™ system software to a new version, or in some cases roll-back to a previous version:

1Make sure that a Passive system software is correctly uploaded to your SpeedTouch™ (it should be listed in the Software Versions table).

2Click Switch Over to restart the SpeedTouch™ and activate the passive system software version as active version.

Switching the system software versions may take a few minutes. Do ! not power off your SpeedTouch™, or interrupt the switch process in

any other way.

During restart, the SpeedTouch™ will switch the passive and active system software; the previous active system software will be stored as passive system software version.

If for any reason the switch-over failed, the system software version that was running as active software version will be retained. To ensure correct operation of the SpeedTouch™ after recovery, the previous passive system software may need to be removed; instead the active system software will be duplicated as passive system software version.
