11. System Management 11.2 Upgrade Firmware Before upgrading, you should determine whether your Tripp Lite device is running the most current firmware. Your Tripp Lite device will not allow you to upgrade to the same version or an earlier version. • The Firmware version is displayed in the header of each page. • Alternately, selecting Status: Support Report reports the Firmware Version. • To upgrade, you first must download the latest firmware image from www.tripplite.com/support. • Save this downloaded firmware image file on to a system on the same subnet as the Tripp Lite device. • Download and read the Release Notes file for the latest update information. • To upload the firmware image file, select System: Firmware. • Specify the address and name of the downloaded Firmware Upgrade File, or Browse the local subnet and locate the downloaded file. • Click Apply. The Tripp Lite device will undergo a soft reboot and begin upgrading the firmware. This process will take several minutes. • After the firmware upgrade has completed, click here to return to the management console. Your Tripp Lite device will have retained all pre-upgrade configuration information. 11.3 Configure Date and Time It is important to set the local date and time in your Tripp Lite device as soon as it is configured. Features such as Syslog and NFS logging use the system time for time-stamping log entries, while certificate generation depends on a correct timestamp to check the validity period of the certificate. Your Tripp Lite appliance can synchronize its system time with a remote Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (UCT) for all time synchronizations, so it is not affected by different time zones. However, you will need to specify your local time zone in order for the system clock to show the correct local time: • Set your appropriate region/locality in the Time Zone selection box and click Set Timezone. 198
