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.

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.

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.
