Upgrading software
IMPORTANT:
Software upgrade takes some time. Avoid performing any operation on the Web interface during the
upgrading procedure. Otherwise, the upgrade operation might be interrupted.

device. Software upgrade allows you to obtain a target application file from the local host and set the file
as the boot file to be used at the next reboot. In addition, you can select whether to reboot the device to
bring the upgrade software into effect.
