NDU Software Upgrade

NDU Software Upgrade

• Software upgrades for the NDU are accomplished
  through a network connection.
• Ideally, the NDU will be on an internal network
  within the same domain as a computer used to
  access the Vela FTP site for software downloads.

• If an internal network is not in use, download

  with a crossover cable.

  to your NDU server using the NDU IP address in a
  web browser. (The NDU factory default IP address
  is 192.168.0.1).

  the web browser and login to the NDU server.

Option Keys

• Before the upgrade, check the server page for the
  options that you may need.

  version is older than 2.4-5, you may need to
  obtain a license key from Vela to activate your
  options after the upgrade.

  Winzip extracted .rpm files from the browsers
  laptop or computer folder.
