This dialog contains the settings for the automatic updating.
To make the update of devices with new firmware as convenient as possible, the firmware files for the various models and LCOS versions are, ideally, saved to a central archive directory. The search for new firmware versions in this directory can either be initiated manually or automatically after starting LANconfig.
- Automatically check for updates:Select the time interval for the automatic check for updates (Daily, Weekly or Monthly). Alternatively, disable the automatic search with the setting Never.
- Check online for updatesEnable this option and LANconfig will check online for updates in the download area of the R&S®NC web server.
- Show release-candidate updatesIf you enable this option, the Software Update will not only offer to download
the released software versions for use in productive environments, but also any available release candidates.
Note: Release candidates include the new features of upcoming software versions and have been thoroughly tested. Until the final release of version, the software may be further optimized—partly due to user feedback.
- Select a suitable local folder for the Firmware archive. When carrying out the automatic search for updates, LANconfig searches this location for new versions of the LANtools and the firmware. This is the location where the Software Update stores the updates from the download section of the R&S®NC web server.
