The network Hostname for the SyncServer.

Automatically check for software upgrades.
n
Hostname: (Default: "SyncServer") The hostname identifies the SyncServer on the network
and is also an important element of NTP autokey authentication. When operating multiple
SyncServers on a network domain, or when using NTP autokey, replace the hostname with
a unique descriptive string composed of alphanumeric characters with no spaces or special
characters. The field has been programmed to reject invalid characters.
Software Update Availability Check: (Default: Enabled) When enabled, the SyncServer checks
a file on the Microsemi web site for software upgrades shortly after noon, local time, Monday
through Friday, as determined by the Local Time Zone setting on the TIMING - Time Zone
page. If the software Release and Revision on upgrade.txt (for S2XX models) is more recent
than that of the software on the SyncServer, the SyncServer displays a notice on the STATUS
- General page, and generates a System Upgrade Alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page.
In order for the Software Update Availability Check to function, LAN1 must have:
Firewall access to the Internet (port 80)
n
A valid DNS server
n
To manually check if an upgrade is available, or if network conditions prevent Software
Update Availability Check from checking automatically, compare the STATUS - General page
with:
http://update.symmetricom.com/upgrade.txt for S200, S250, and S250i
n
Note: S2XX models have versions 1.XX
For example, compare "Version=1.10" and "Last Checkpoint: 1.103" on upgrade.txt with
"Release Version 1.10 Build 1.103" on the STATUS - General page. Since the values are the
same, no upgrade is available.
If an upgrade is available, go to Upgrading System Software (on page 107) to find out
how to upgrade the system software.
Note: The default configuration of the System Upgrade Alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page is
"Severity = Minor", "Send SNMP trap", "Write to log", and "Send email notification" when
upgrades become available. SNMP and alarm email must be configured correctly to func-
tion.
The user can also contact Microsemi Customer Assistance (on page 3) for information
about upgrades.
