9.8.6 Watson Firmware Upgrade
Watson offers a built-in mechanism for upgrading its software image, without losing
any of your custom configurations and settings. There are two methods for upgrad-
ing the software image:
 Upgrading from a local computer—use a software image file pre-downloaded to
your PC's disk drive or located on the accompanying evaluation CD.
 Upgrading from the Internet—also referred to as Remote Update, use this
method to upgrade your firmware by remotely downloading an updated soft-
ware image file.
Following are instructions for each of these methods.
