Equalizer Installation and Administration Guide 27
1. In the Equalizer Configuration Menu window, select option 8, Upgrade, and press Enter.
2. Highlight OK; then press Enter. The upgrade utility prompts you to enter the upgrade URL
(see Figure 15):
Figure15 EqualizerConfigurationUtility:UpgradeURL
Enter the URL provided to you by Coyote Point, select OK, and press Enter. The latest release
of Equalizer software is always located at the following URL:
ftp://ftp.coyotepoint.com/pub/patches/upgrades/latest/upgrade.tgz
Equalizer downloads the upgrade file and runs the upgrade script.
3. When prompted, confirm that you want to upgrade the Equalizer software. The script then
installs the software upgrade. Upgrades may take as long as five minutes. After the upgrade is
installed, you will be prompted to reboot the system.
Shutting Down Equalizer
You can shut down Equalizer from the configuration utility. Note that shutting down Equalizer does
not automatically commit changes made to the configuration. To shut down, follow these steps:
1. In the Equalizer Configuration Menu window, select option 7, Shutdown; then press Enter.
2. After the shutdown process completes, power off the system.
Managing Remote Access to the Equalizer
Remote access, when enabled, provides a user account (eqsupport) which allows you to log into
Equalizer over a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.
Managing the Remote Access Account
To enable, disable, or change the password for this account, use the hardware configuration utility
as follows:
Note – By default, the password for the eqsupport account is blank. If you enable the account,
change the password when you enable it.
