Administration - Software update tab

On the SOFTWARE UPDATE tab you can add and manage the update repositories. 

The update repository is the place where the firmware files are located.

You can add a new update repository and add update packages to the repository.

Currently, you can choose between two places from which updates can be obtained: A local repository (Directory) and the CURe server (Cure). CURe stands for central update repository. 

Update repositories overview

External repository

• To add an external repository, click the ADD EXTERNAL REPOSITORY button.
  

A new window opens.

• Enter a name, the URI of the external repository and the credentials. 
  Note: If you want to use the CURe server from Phoenix Contact, use the following URI: https://www.phoenixcontact.com/cure
  You do not need to enter a username or password for this.
• Click the ADD EXTERNAL REPOSITORY button.

The added repository is shown in the list.

Add local update package

If you do not want to obtain updates via the external server, you can also select update packages locally via your file system.

An update package consists of the firmware file and the description file.

• Choose the local repository. 
  
• Click the UPLOAD FIRMWARE PACKAGE button or the UPLOAD SOFTWARE PACKAGE button.
  Note: Before uploading the update package, the Device and Update Management checks whether there is still enough memory available on the device (EPC).
  
  
• Select the update package. 
  
• Click the UPLOAD button.
