Updating Software

Updating FaxFinder Software

To administer FaxFinder, the browser accesses the FaxFinder server through HTTPS (default port is TCP 443). When
you press Update to update firmware, the browser switches to HTTP port 80 to upload the new firmware file. The
browser then switches back to HTTPS.
Important: The update process takes at least six minutes. Do not power off the FaxFinder during the update.
While the software is uploading, the browser shows Updating Please Wait and the FaxFinder's Status
LED flashes on/off normally.
When the browser switches back to HTTPS, the browser shows Rebooting Please Wait and the Status
LED is solid for about minute and then flashes normally.
When the process completes, the browser shows the login page.
To check for updates:
1. Click System Configuration > Software Update.
2. Click Default to ensure the Update Source field is set for the factory URL.
3. Click Check for Updates. FaxFinder checks the designated site for a newer software version. If an update
is available, an Upgrade button and README link appear.
Click Upgrade to download and install the update.
Click Yes to upgrade and reboot automatically.
Click Cancel if you do not want to update at this time. The update process takes several minutes.
4. Click README to view information about the new version.
The upgrade occasionally takes longer than expected. This may cause the browser to show a timeout
when the process tries to display the login screen. If this occurs, wait approximately one minute and then
refresh your browser.
Current Version displays the software version currently installed.
Note:
to the FaxFinder if there is a firewall or other security software blocking these ports.

Upgrading FaxFinder License

If you purchase additional channels to upgrade FaxFinder, enter the license keys through the Software Update
page. Instructions for this process and the upgrade code are included with the License Upgrade Kit.

not have channels. To use SIP/T.38 or etherFAX with these models, you need to purchase at least 2
channels.
