About Live Update
Using Live Update
3Com Network Supervisor Live Update provides a method for actively
delivering current hardware and software information for 3Com
products. This proactive transaction requires that the user has version 3.0
of 3Com Network Supervisor installed.
Live Update "pulls" information, at the users' request, from a 3Com
database via the World Wide Web and provides support for newly
installed devices, software upgrades, service packs and feature
enhancements. This delivery mechanism provides a secure method for
downloading information in a manner that is cost-effective, convenient,
and above all, current. This method of delivery provides "day-one"
management for all newly developed devices.
Live Update connects to a 3Com server using the same method as your
default Internet browser. This configuration is established the first time
you run Live Update. When you launch Live Update the application
performs a comparison of the configuration and agent files on your
network with the files located on the 3Com server. It then displays a list
of the newer files on the server and asks if you want to download them.
You can choose to select any or all of the files from the list.
The first time you run Live Update, the Live Update Setup Wizard runs,
allowing you to specify how to make the connection to the Internet.
