Installing or Upgrading the Applications

Installing or Upgrading the Applications

All the necessary applications have been preinstalled and configured at the
factory. However, you may have to upgrade some applications when new
versions become available or to reinstall them.

Note: Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows.

Each time you purchase a new module, it could be a good idea to verify
that the most recent Update Manager application is installed on your unit.

When updates are available for an application, you will need to download
them from Internet, either directly on your unit or on a computer. The
update files must be copied to the location that has been specified for the
deployment packages in Update Manager.

For the installation or upgrade, you will need:

your unit

a computer equipped with a USB port; Windows must be installed on
the computer

a USB memory key

Note: The computer and USB key are only necessary if you do not wish to

download the files directly on your unit.

Note: For more information on the installation, refer to the Update Manager

online help.
