if the build number is earlier than 6922, then see "Manual Update of the Server". If the build number is 6922 or later, then see "Update of the Server via the Web-interface".

Manual Update of the Server

To update the server manually you need:

• Netscan - it scans the local network and shows all devices connected to it;
• WinSCP - it performs all basic operations with files such as file upload and unload;
• PuTTY - it allows you to connect and control remote units (for example, the server);
• the .ipk update file of the server.

1. Start Netscan and scan your local network. Make sure your UMC device is connected to the power supply and Ethernet. Find the IP-address of the UMC device in the list of appeared IP-addresses. (UMC Mac -addresses start with 70:B3:D5:22)
2. Start WinSCP and connect to your UMC device.
