NCT Update configuration
1783 NCT Update program allows programs and files to be updated from any FTP server on
your network. Updates can be done immediately or can be scheduled to take place at a time
when network traffic is at a minimum. Updates can be programs that make up a new
integration level from Visara , Inc. or configuration files distributed by a system administrator.
The system administrator provides the address of the FTP server, the name and password
required to access the server, and the path to the update list file on the server using the
NCT Update panel (shown below), accessed from the Configuration drop down menu.
• Update Server Address – The IP address of the FTP server containing the update
list and the new programs and files.
• Name – The user’s name expected by the file server (maximum 32 characters).
• Password – The user’s password on the file server (maximum 32 characters).
• Update List File – The file path of the file on the server that contains the list of
programs and files to be updated.
• Do Update – The time when the update will automatically be started. The minute
field is changed in 5 minute increments using the arrows.
• Reboot 1783 upon completion – Select to reboot the 1783 after the update has
completed.
Note: The program that starts NCT Update samples this time every 3 minutes, so the
update process could begin 3 minutes after the selected update time.
• Automatic – The updates will be handled automatically at the time chosen by
the user.
• Immediate – Overrides the update time; the update process will begin immediately.
WARNING: All applications except the NCT Update program should be closed before
starting an update. DO NOT shut off the machine or start any programs during the update
process. Notify the system administrator of any failures.
