Updating the firmware via the Web server

7.24.2.1

Overview

As of firmware version V4.6, you can update the data on your memory card directly via an
Internet connection with the aid of the Web server. You can use this to transfer configuration
data and the latest firmware to the memory card.
For safety reasons, the current data is not directly overwritten when you update the data on
the memory card. There is a double data storage via a backup partition. In this way,
damaged data can be restored automatically after an automatic test in the event of a fault.
Two steps are required for the update:
● Starting the Web server (Page 399)
● Transferring the firmware via the Web server to the memory card (Page 375)
