CONFIGURE > SYSTEM

The CONFIGURE > SYSTEM menu lets you change the OPERATIONS MANAGER hostname, perform system upgrades, and reset the system.

You can perform a system upgrade when new firmware is released. After specifying the location of the firmware and beginning the process, the system will unavailable for several minutes and then reboot. Unlike a factory reset, users, and other configuration data is maintained.

To perform a system upgrade:

  1. Navigate to CONFIGURE > System > System Upgrade.

  2. Select the Upgrade Method, either Fetch image from HTTP/HTTPS Server or Upload Image.
