Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site)
Check for Product Updates (also known as the Software Downloads Site) allows you to access
the Update Server to view and manually download all available updates for EX700i System
and User Software. You can access Check for Product Updates from the Configure tab in
WebTools.
Check for Product Updates is especially useful if your EX700i cannot access the Internet, is
behind a firewall, or is otherwise unable or not configured to seek and accept automatic
updates from the Update Server. (For instance, if you do not want—or the EX700i is
unable—to take advantage of the auto-download/auto-installation/auto-notification features
available through System Updates.)
For detailed instructions, see “To install updates using Check for Product Updates” on
page 46.
Make sure to review “Before updating the EX700i” on page 40 before using Check for
Product Updates.
TO INSTALL UPDATES USING CHECK FOR PRODUCT UPDATES
1 Launch a Web browser, type the IP address or DNS name of the EX700i, and then press Enter.

NOTE: The list that displays when you access Check for Product Updates may include:
