5. Firmware installation

You can update the software of your device to a newer version or downgrade to an earlier version. Both

are carried out via the so-called ﬁrmware update in the web interface.

First, download the desired ﬁrmware package from our

web interface of the device and select the item Firmware update in the main menu.

In the box that appears, select the ﬁrmware package you downloaded before from the hard drive. Con-

ﬁrm the dialogue box by clicking on Upload & install. The package will now be loaded onto your device.

Depending on the network connection, this may take a few minutes.

Once the package has been recognised as valid ﬁrmware, you will be shown a dialogue box asking you

to conﬁrm the ﬁrmware update. Depending on the version diﬀerences between the current version and

the one to be installed, various messages will appear telling you what to do with your data during the

update.

• Change in the ﬁrst digit: You must back up the data of your device manually and restore it after the

update. An update cannot be performed without data migration.

• Update to higher number for the second digit: The update can be carried out without data migration.

You are advised to back up your data beforehand anyway.

• Downgrade to lower number for the second digit: You must back up the data of your device manually

and restore it after the update. An update cannot be performed without data migration.

• Change in the third digit: The update can be carried out without data migration. You are advised to

back up your data beforehand anyway.

When you conﬁrm this dialogue box, the device will be restarted immediately. When the device is restart-

ing, the ﬁrmware last uploaded will be installed. This will cause restarting to take much longer than

usual. It will normally take less than 10 minutes however. A further restart will be carried out after the

installation has taken place. This will complete the ﬁrmware update.
