Updater

Overview

■ Outline

Updater provides functions that enable network communication with Content Delivery System
V1.0 (hereinafter CDS) to install firmware, MEAP applications and system options.
• Firmware Installation
Updater function enables users to distribute firmware through CDS via Internet. Particularly
on e-Maintenance/UGW (called NETEYE in Japan)-enabled devices, firmware can be
updated remotely, which effectively slashes costs incurred in field services.
• MEAP Application
By linking devices to CDS and License Management System (providing the function to
manage licenses; hereinafter LMS), applications can be installed in devices via Updater.
Caution:
LBP6670 non-supports CDS.
