9.8.6.2 Upgrading From the Internet

The Remote Update mechanism helps you keep your software image up-to-date,

by performing routine daily checks for newer software versions, as well as letting

you perform manual checks. To view the automatic check utility's settings and last

check result, click the 'Watson Firmware Upgrade' icon from the 'Advanced' screen.

The 'Watson Firmware Upgrade' screen will appear. In the 'Upgrade From the In-

ternet' section, you can select the utility's checking method and interval. The result

of the last performed check is displayed by the line between the 'Check Now' and

'Force Upgrade' buttons, indicating whether a new version is available or not.

 If a new version is available:

1. Press the 'Force Upgrade' button. A download process will begin. When

downloading is completed, a confirmation screen will appear, asking you if

you want to upgrade to the new version.

2. Click 'OK' to confirm. The upgrade process will begin and should take no

longer than one minute to complete.

3. At the conclusion of the upgrade process Watson will automatically reboot.

The new software version will run, maintaining your custom configurations

and settings.

 If a new version is not available:

1. Press the 'Check Now' button to perform an immediate check (instead of

waiting for the next scheduled one). The screen will display a green "Check

in progress..." message.

2. Press the 'Refresh' button until the check is completed and the result is dis-

played.

9.8.7 MAC Cloning

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the numeric code that identifies a device

on a network, such as your external cable/DSL modem or a PC network card. Your

service provider may ask you to supply the MAC address of your PC, external mo-

dem, or both. When replacing an external modem with Watson, you can simplify

the installation process by copying the MAC address of your existing PC to Watson.

In such a case, you do not need to delay the setup process by informing your ser-

vice provider of newly installed equipment. To use MAC cloning:
