Updating I/Port Software
The XPe I8820 and the NeoLinux I8020 I/Ports use ezRemote Manager for software updates.
Software updates are sent, or pushed, to the I/Ports in a package called a snap-in. Custom
system images can also be pushed out to I/Ports.
These brief procedures describe how to update or re-image XPe- and NeoLinux- based I/Ports.
The ezRemote Manager User Manual provides complete details on pushing software updates
or re-imaging the I/Port. The ezRemote Manager User Manual can be downloaded at
http://www.neoware.com/support/documentation/archive.html .
To push a snap-in:
1. In ezRemote Manager, select Neoware Appliances in the left pane.
2. From the Actions menu, select Assets.
3. In the window that is displayed, click the Password button and enter the password for the
I/Ports to be updated.
4. Highlight the I/Ports to receive the snap-in.
5. Select the Snapin Manager icon (the icon with the red check mark).
6. Browse for the snap-in and click OK.
To re-image:
1. In ezRemote Manager, select Neoware Appliances in the left pane.
2. From the Actions menu, select Assets.

I/Ports to be updated.

Best Practices for I/Ports
Follow the recommendations in this section for best I/Port performance.
RDP-Based I/Ports
As previously noted, RDP is a limited-bandwidth connection when compared to 100baseT
Ethernet. In addition, Ethernet bandwidth can be constrained by network activity anywhere
between each end of a connection.
