Update

To upgrade the IPLink to another software version, select the software image by clicking on the Browse button.
The software is a '.tar' file. (See figure 73.) After selected, the software is downloaded to the IPLink. Wait until
the upload has completed. The best way to monitor when the IPLink reboots is to view the process from the
RS-232 console port.

Clicking on Options provides for selecting 'Firmware Update Configuration.' If enabled, the IPLink will pre-
vent updating with incorrect software.

Save

To save configuration changes to non-volatile memory, it is essential to click on the Save button on this
webpage. (See figure 74.) If you do not do this, all configuration changes are stored only in volatile memory,
meaning that if the IPLink is restarted, all configuration changes are lost. Click on the Save button and wait
until seeing the message "Saved information model to im.conf."
