The
Automatic Firmware Update link leads you to the page where the automatic update of the Quadro’s firmware (software image) can be
configured.
The Download current configuration in a legible format and Upload a legible configuration file
links lead you to the pages described in the
Legible Configuration Management chapter where the legible configuration can be downloaded and uploaded back after the required edits.
Automatic Firmware Update
The Automatic Firmware Update page allows you to configure an automatic update of the Quadro’s firmware (software image) as it becomes
available on the server. When this service is enabled, on the configured day and time Quadro will automatically check for a new available firmware
on the server and will either notify the administrator or update the firmware right away, depending on the configured settings.
The server configuration can be done manually or through the DHCP server. In case of DHCP server replying configuration, the corresponding
adjustments should be done on the DHCP server to automatically point the Quadro to the destination where the firmware is stored.
Please Note: Independent on the selected server type, there should be an “auto-update” folder in the root directory of the server. Quadro will check
for any new firmware in that specific folder only. Besides the firmware *.bin file, the “auto-update” folder should contain supplementary file(s) to point
to the correct firmware file.
The detailed instructions on the functionality of automatic firmware update as well as server configuration are described in the “Automatic Firmware
Update” document which you can find at the Epygi Web support portal.
This page consists of the following components:
The Enable Automatically Firmware Update checkbox selection enables the automatic firmware update service on the Quadro.
The Allow Automatic Firmware Update with older version (downgrade) checkbox should be selected if any firmware older than the one currently
running on the Quadro can be also installed, thus downgrading the system and forcing it to factory reset.
Attention: When the older firmware is installed on the Quadro, the system configuration will be lost and the device will be factory reset.
The first manipulation buttons group on this page allows you to choose between the manually configured firmware server and the server defined by
the DHCP server.
• Assign automatically via DHCP - choose this selection if the Quadro acts as a DHCP client in its WAN interface. In this case the
firmware server’s configuration will be automatically obtained from the DHCP server. This selection requires previous configuration on the
firmware server and will work only if the “auto-update” directory is created on the TFTP server. The DHCP server should also be
configured to provide the parameters of the TFTP server to the Quadro.
• Assign manually – this selection is used to manually configure the firmware server settings. The Server Name (the IP address or
hostname), the Server Port and the Update Method should be defined. The Update Method drop down list provides a possibility to
choose among TFTP, FTP, HTTP or HTTPS methods.
The second manipulation buttons group on this page allows you
to select the frequency of checking for a new update.
• Check and notify – choose this selection if you only
wish to be notified about the new available firmware
on the server. With this selection, on the indicated
weekday and time, on daily or weekly basis, the
Quadro will check for a new firmware available on the
server. The way of notification is configured from the
Error! Not a valid result for table. page.
• Check and update – choose this selection to check
and automatically install the new firmware on the
Quadro as it becomes available on the server. With
this selection, on the indicated weekday and time, on
daily or weekly basis, the Quadro will check for a new
firmware available on the server, will automatically
download and install it on the Quadro.

Legible Configuration Management
The Legible Configuration Management is used to manually manage the configuration on the Quadro. This will allow you to download a piece of
configuration from the Quadro in the way of legible file, to make necessary changes in that file and to upload it back to the same or different
Quadro(s). With this service, some pieces of configuration (like extension settings, NAT settings, etc.) of one Quadro can be used on another
Quadro. This also helps to apply the same group of settings to the several instances (for example, to apply the same SIP settings to multiple
extensions on the Quadro) on the same or different Quadros avoiding manual configuration of each of those instances (i.e. extension) from the web
management on each of the Quadros. The Quadro reseller, distributor, ISP or carrier usually uses this service.
Attention: It is strongly recommended to consult with the Quadro’s Technical Support Center before uploading an edited legible configuration.
Incorrect settings here may harm the current configurations.
