2.5 Software update
The following description applies to:
The initial software update for a device out-of-the-box
A software update as part of operation or maintenance
Check if an updated release of the device software is available. You find information and software
downloads on the Hirschmann product pages on the Internet at www.hirschmann.com. Then
decide which software release you want to run on your device.
Note: To check the running software release on a device that does not yet have an IP configuration,
Hirschmann recommends using HiView.
To update the software on the device, you need management access to the device, which requires
at least a preliminary IP configuration. Hirschmann recommends using HiView to assign an IP
configuration to the device. HiView then offers you to open the device management.
At the first login with the default password, the device asks you to change the password. Use a
dedicated password according to your password policy (see on page 19 “Plan a dedicated user
account password policy”).
Refer to the user manual "Configuration" for details on how to:
Determine the currently running software release
Determine the stored software release
Check for newer available software release
If you decide to update the device software:
Save the configuration profile in the volatile memory (
RAM
) to the non-volatile memory (
NVM
); see
the user manual "Configuration", chapter "Managing configuration profiles".
Back up the device configuration.
Update the device software; see the user manual "Configuration", chapter "Loading software
updates".
Reboot the device for the new software to take effect.
Note: Hirschmann recommends checking for device software updates regularly and using the
latest available release. A newer release of the device software could provide you with security
improvements or benefits like new functions, including new security-related device functions.
