Web Server Help Files Collection

When opening the Software Update page with all the default

settings preserved, the Web Server connects to the Ashtech

public FTP server and searches for a possible upgrade in the

dedicated folder.

The result of that search appears on the same page, in the

Version pane. Either a new version is available, and in this

case the new version is mentioned (and you can see the name

of the upgrade file in the File Name field), or there is no

upgrade available, in which case only the version of the

firmware currently installed in the receiver is displayed in the

Version pane (and the File Name field is blank).

If a new version is available, you can upgrade your receiver by

simply clicking on the Upload button and waiting until you are

informed of the end of the installation phase (this may take

up to 30 minutes).

The different parameters shown on the Software Update page

are described below.
