The Ping Test utility can help in troubleshooting network connectivity problems. For instructions on using the
Ping Test utility, simply leave the text field blank and click “Ping.”
Device Setup -
The “Password” Tab
The Password tab allows the user to enable or disable the device ’s firmware password. If set, the device will
prompt for the password anytime a user attempts to access the Device Setup screen or tries to cancel an
automatic connection. It is recommended that this password be set before deployment, to prevent tampering
by unauthorized users.
Device Setup - The “Update” Tab
The Update tab allows the user to select from multiple ways to update the device firmware from a vSpace host
on the network. The first option downloads and installs the latest firmware each time the device connects to
the host. The next option allows the user to manually initiate an immediate update directly from the GUI. The
last set of options defines the update method: from the local subnet, by searching a pre-defined FTP
directory or by updating from a specific file on an FTP server. The needed credentials for the FTP methods
are then entered below. If specifying a specific firmware file, the whole path to the file on the FTP server
(including the filename) must be specified. (Note: the firmware update process can also be initiated from the
NC Console.)
