This machine can automatically update its firmware and configuration information.
In this step, configure settings so that this machine monitors the firmware update server on the network at periodic intervals to automatically download and update the latest firmware and configuration information.
Select [Network] - [Machine Update Settings] - [Machine Auto Update Settings] - [Auto Update Settings for This Machine] in administrator mode of Web Connection, then configure the following settings.
Setting | Description | |
---|---|---|
[Auto Update Settings for This Machine] | When automatically updating firmware of this machine, set this option to ON (default: OFF). | |
[Download Protocol] | Select a protocol used to obtain firmware from the firmware update server (default: [SMB]). | |
[SMB Setting] | Configure settings to obtain firmware using the SMB protocol.
| |
[HTTP Settings] | Configure settings to obtain firmware using the HTTP protocol (WebDAV).
| |
[Update Time] | Specify the time to start applying the firmware obtained from the firmware update server to this machine. It is advantageous to specify the time when this machine is not operating such as a break time or night time. | |
[Polling Settings] | Specify the interval to check whether the latest firmware exists on the firmware update server (default: [60] min.).
| |
[Retry Interval] | Specify the interval to retry processing when the system failed to check the latest firmware on the firmware update server (default: [5] min.). |
To automatically update configuration information of this machine, select [Network] - [Machine Update Settings] - [Machine Auto Update Settings] - [Machine Update Password] in administrator mode of Web Connection, then enter the password to decode the encrypted configuration file (using up to 32 characters).
If necessary, select [Network] - [Machine Update Settings] - [Machine Auto Update Settings] - [Log TX Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection, then configure a setting to send firmware update logs.
Setting | Description | |
---|---|---|
[Update File Download/Update Log] | When sending firmware update logs of this machine to another location, set this option to ON (default: OFF). | |

Configure settings to operate this machine as a relay server.
Operating this machine as a relay server allows you to establish a relay between a different firmware update server on the network and other devices to distribute firmware to them.
If this machine monitors a different firmware update server on the network at periodic intervals and checks that the server contains the latest firmware, firmware is downloaded to the firmware storage area of this machine.
Other devices on the network monitor this machine, which is running as a relay server, at periodic intervals. If the latest firmware exists in the firmware storage area of this machine, firmware is downloaded and updated based on the settings of that device.
In this example, configure settings required when this machine monitors a different firmware update server as well as settings required when other devices access the firmware storage area of this machine.
In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [Machine Update Settings] - [Machine Auto Update Settings] - [Relay Server Function Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection, then configure the following settings.
Setting | Description | |
---|---|---|
[Update File Download Settings] | When operating this machine as the relay server, set this option to ON (default: OFF).
| |
[HTTP Settings] | When allowing another device on the network to access the firmware storage area of this machine using the HTTP protocol (WebDAV), set this option to ON (default: OFF).
| |
[SMB Setting] | When allowing another device on the network to access the firmware storage area of this machine using the SMB protocol, set this option to ON (default: OFF).
|
If necessary, select [Network] - [Machine Update Settings] - [Machine Auto Update Settings] - [Log TX Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection, then configure a setting to send firmware update logs.
Setting | Description | |
---|---|---|
[Relay Update File Download Log] | When sending log data to another location while this machine operates as a relay server, set this option to ON (default: OFF). | |
