Web Server Help Files Collection

When opening the

Software Update page with all the default

settings preserved, the Web Server connects to the Ashtech
public FTP server and searches for a possible upgrade in the
dedicated folder.

The result of that search appears on the same page, in the
Version pane. Either a new version is available, and in this
case the new version is mentioned (and you can see the name
of the upgrade file in the

File Name field), or there is no

upgrade available, in which case only the version of the
firmware currently installed in the receiver is displayed in the
Version pane (and the File Name field is blank).
If a new version is available, you can upgrade your receiver by
simply clicking on the

Upload button and waiting until you are

informed of the end of the installation phase (this may take
up to 30 minutes).

The different parameters shown on the

Software Update page

are described below.
