You can upgrade the management software of the Webcache when a
new version becomes available.
3Com recommends that you always upgrade to the latest software
version to take advantage of additional functionality, bug fixes and
features.
You can configure the Webcache to automatically detect and download
new software versions, and notify you of their availability (via email
notification; for more information, see "Email Notification" on page 83).
The next time that you log in to the Webcache, the Upgrade Software
wizard opens and guides you through the software upgrade process.
Alternatively, you can manually perform a software upgrade, by
downloading and locating the software upgrade file yourself.
