You use the traceroute test to display the route to a particular address (IP address or do-
main name), if this can be reached. The Outputfield displays the traceroute test messages.

dress and clicking the Go button.
22.2 Software &Configuration
You can use this menu to manage the software version of your device, your configuration
files and the language of the Funkwerk Configuration Interface .

22.2.1 Options

Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production.
More recent versions may have since been released. You may therefore need to carry out
a software update.
Every new system software includes new features, better performance and any necessary
bugfixes from the previous version. You can find the current system software at
www.funkwerk-ec.com . The current documentation is also available here.
Important
If you want to update your software, make sure you consider the corresponding re-
lease notes. These describe the changes implemented in the new system software.
The result of an interrupted update (e.g. power failure during the update) could be that
your gateway no longer boots. Do not turn your device off during the update.
An update of BOOTmonitor and/or Logic is recommended in a few cases. In this case,
the release notes refer expressly to this fact. Only update BOOTmonitor or Logic if
Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH explicitly recommends this.
Flash
Your device saves its configuration in configuration files in the flash EEPROM (Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The data even remains stored in the flash
when your device is switched off.
RAM
The current configuration and all changes you set on your device during operation are
