Performing a Software Upgrade 99
3 If you want the Webcache to automatically detect and download new
software versions, and notify you of their availability, check Enable
Automatic Software Upgrade Detection.
The Webcache notifies you of the availability of new software versions via
email notification; for further information, see “Email Notification” on
page 83.
If you want to disable automatic detection, and instead perform software
upgrades from a file on a local server, ensure that Enable Automatic
Software Upgrade Detection is unchecked.
4 The default FTP site settings are displayed:
■ FTP Server Address: ftp.3com.com
■ FTP Server Directory: pub/webcache
■ Username: anonymous
■ Password: Webcache@hostname.domainname
When a password has been set, ********** is displayed in the Password
field, regardless of how many characters the password actually is. You
can change the password by clicking Change Password and entering the
new password. The password must be between 1 and 32 characters in
length. The default password is Webcache@hostname.domainname. If
you set the DNS domain name to be
mycompany.com and the DNS host
name to be
mycache, the default FTP password would be
Webcache@mycache.mycompany.com. If the DNS host name and domain
are not set, the default password is
Webcache.
If necessary, you can change the FTP site that the Webcache automatically
downloads software upgrades from by entering the new FTP address,
directory, user name and password in the appropriate fields. You may
want to change the FTP site in order to download a software upgrade
from a location other than the default 3Com FTP site.
You can restore the FTP site to the factory defaults by clicking Restore
Defaults.
