HP ThinPro 5.0 - Administrator Guide

Using the manual update method
Use the manual update method to connect a client to a specific server for an update. Also, use this
method if you want to test an update on a single client before pushing the update to many clients, or if
you have specific updates to be installed on only one or two clients.
NOTE: Be sure you specify the hostname of the manual server in the profile that you are updating
to. Otherwise the settings reset to automatic when downloading the profile. Use the Profile Editor to
modify these settings at root/auto-update.
NOTE: If multiple clients require specific updates, use the DHCP tagging method.
If no update segregation is required, use the broadcast update method.
Performing a manual update
1. Select Management > Automatic Update in the Control Panel.
2. Select Enable manual configuration.
3. Set the Protocol as http.
4. In the Server field, type the update server hostname and port in this format: <hostname>:
18287
5. In the Path field, type the following: auto-update
6. Click OK, and then the client will pull the updates.
