Autoupdate settings

SBC can automatically retrieve configuration and software version files from the Auto-configuration

server (hereinafter referred to as "server") with a set period of time.

After downloading a configuration, SBC will wait for completion of all active calls before applying the new

configuration. Either the configuration will be applied with the new firmware before rebooting.

The firmware version description file contains information about the firmware available on the server

(versions and file names). There the time for updating can also be set. The file format should be as follows:

– Number of firmware version — defines completely, including assembling version;

– Firmware file name must have .bin extension;

– It is not necessary to assign permitted update time.

SBC will be updated as soon as active calls are finished. If you specify the time, SBC will be updated only

within this time range.

Example of firmware description file:

1.8.0.99; smg2016_firmware_sbc_1.8.0.99.bin

1.8.0.100; smg2016_firmware_sbc_1.8.0.100.bin;9-13
