no extension:
•
.tar.gz
•
.txt
•
.sig
• .plcm
2. Define a URL on your server that the RealPresence Touch can use for software updates, and
create a corresponding root directory to it.
3. Go to support.polycom.com,

4. Save and extract the RealPresence Touch operating system software package (.tar file) from the
Polycom website to the root directory of the web server.

Managing Polycom Touch Device Software on Your Server

When checking for software updates on your server, Polycom touch devices check only for what is
referred to as the "current" release of the RealPresence Group Series system software. By default, the
current release is the software distribution package that was most recently extracted on your server.
Over time, you might extract other versions of the software on your server, resetting the current release
with every extraction. In addition, you could accumulate multiple versions of the same software.
Each software distribution package contains two commands that you can use to maintain all of the
software extracted on your server.
• The setcurel command sets a specific version of software as the current release.
• The removerel command removes a specific version of a software release from your server.
Set a Software Version as Current
Use the setcurrel command to set a specific version of RealPresence Touch software as the current
release on your server.
Procedure
1. Run the setcurrel command with X.X.X-XXX as the software version you want to set as the
current release:
• Unix or Linux: <root dir>/vega/platform/setcurrel.sh X.X.X-XXX
• Windows: <root dir>\vega/platform/setcurrel.bat X.X.X-XXX
2. Follow the onscreen instructions for setting the current release.
