It is not possible to downgrade the software of the Webcache
automatically. To downgrade the software you must use the Manual
Upgrade/Downgrade procedure.
Additionally, it is possible to upgrade the software using the Agent
Upgrade capabilities of the 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced
Package. See the documentation supplied with the package for
instructions.
3Com Network Supervisor cannot be used to perform software
downgrades. It can only upgrade the software on the Webcache.
This occurs if Enable Automatic Software Upgrade Detection is checked
in the Upgrade Detection screen and a new software version has been
detected. The Software Upgrade wizard will automatically start the next
time that you log in to the Webcache.
To perform an automatically detected software upgrade:
1 Log in to the Web interface.

Upgrade Software wizard is displayed. Click Next.
If a new software version has not been yet detected, you can force the
Webcache to check now by selecting System > Control > Upgrade
Detection > and clicking Detect Now. The Webcache will begin and

email and generate an SNMP trap if an upgrade is detected providing you
