Specify the address and name of the downloaded Firmware Upgrade File, or Browse the local

subnet and locate the downloaded file

Click Apply and the Console Server appliance will undertake a soft reboot and commence

upgrading the firmware. This process will take several minutes

After the firmware upgrade has completed, click here to return to the Management Console.

Your Console Server will have retained all its pre-upgrade configuration information

11.3 Configure Date and Time

It is recommended that you set the local Date and Time in the Console Server as soon as it is configured.
Features like Syslog and NFS logging use the system time for time-stamping log entries, while certificate
generation depends on a correct Timestamp to check the validity period of the certificate.

Select the System: Date & Time menu option

Manually set the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute using the Date and Time selection boxes,

then click Apply

The Console Server can synchronize its system time with a remote time server using the Network Time
Protocol (NTP). Configuring with the NTP time server ensures that the Console Server clock will be
accurate soon after the Internet connection is established. Also, if NTP is not used, the system clock will
be reset randomly every time the Console Server is powered up. To set the system time using NTP:

Select the Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page

Enter the IP address of the remote NTP Server and click Apply

Specify your local time zone so the system clock can show local time (and not UTP):

Set your appropriate region/locality in the Time Zone selection box and click Apply
