18.3.1 Options
Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production.
More recent versions may have since been released. You may therefore need to carry out
a software update.
Every new system software includes new features, better performance and any necessary
bugfixes from the previous version. You can find the current system software at
www.bintec-elmeg.com . The current documentation is also available here.
Important
If you want to update your software, make sure you consider the corresponding re-
lease notes. These describe the changes implemented in the new system software.
The result of an interrupted update (e.g. power failure during the update) could be that
your gateway no longer boots. Do not turn your device off during the update.
An update of BOOTmonitor and/or Logic is recommended in a few cases. In this case,
the release notes refer expressly to this fact. Only update BOOTmonitor or Logic if
bintec elmeg GmbHbintec elmeg GmbH explicitly recommends this.
Flash
Your device saves its configuration in configuration files in the flash EEPROM (Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The data even remains stored in the flash
when your device is switched off.
RAM
The current configuration and all changes you set on your device during operation are
stored in the working memory (RAM). The contents of the RAM are lost if the device is
switched off. So if you modify your configuration and want to keep these changes for the
next time you start your device, you must save the modified configuration in the flash
memory before switching off: The Save configuration button over the navigation area of
the GUI. This configuration is then saved in the flash in a file with the name ". When
you start your device, the " configuration file is used by default.
Actions
The files in the flash memory can be copied, moved, erased and newly created. It is also
possible to transfer configuration files between your device and a host via HTTP.
