====== Automatic upgrades ======

This page lets you control the way to use the upgrade/configuration services offered by your Internet (or other) provider.

:!: If these options are applicable you have probably received some kind of information from your provider, otherwise ignore this page.

==== Configuration ====
{{ :web_gui:automatic_upgrades.png?244|Automatic Upgrades in rel 5.30}}

A service (Internet) provider may have configuration files on a server which your unit can collect - automatically or on request by you. These configuration files can help you setting up certain features in your unit, setting account information etc.

**enabled** If enabled, the unit regularly checks for newer files on the server (if supported by your provider).

**Checking interval** How often the unit does its checking.

==== Firmware ====
A service provider may have newer firmware for your unit, on a server which your unit can download for upgrading - automatically or on request by you.

**enabled** If enabled, the unit regularly checks for newer firmware on the server (if supported by your provider).

**Checking interval** How often the unit does its checking.

==== Purchases ====
A service provider may have files on a server as results from a purchase procedure. Your unit can collect this - automatically or on request by you - and upgrade with the new bought features/licenses.

**enabled** If enabled, the unit regularly checks for newer files on the server (if supported by your provider).

**Checking interval** How often the unit does its checking.

==== Restart allowed ====
Some of the services above may need to restart the unit after being refreshed with new data from the server. Of course this may interrupt your Internet access for a short while. Decide here when to accept the restart.

**After alert message on display ("Press SEL to install")** No automatic restart. Do the restart manually by pressing the "SEL" key on the front panel, after a scrolling message appears.

**Automatically between** Accept an automatic restart, but choose a time where you are not likely to use the unit. You must have configured a SNTP server (see the Administration page) so the unit knows the time-of-day. For automatic firmware upgrades, the unit must be switched on during the specified hours. If no SNTP service selected, it falls back to the option below.

**Automatically at any time** Select this option if you don't bother about an occasional (rare) restart.

==== Reset to default provisioning settings ====
If you change to a new service (Internet) provider, you may want to stop all the commitments with the old one, and to make a fresh start with services offered by the new one. If so, and only then, click here to reset. 
:!: WARNING! Resetting here may break regular services offered by your current Internet provider.
