Local Update
The Local Update option allows you to update the software in your 700wl Series system units from a
distribution file stored on your Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, rather than from a
remote system. This means that your 700wl Series system units do not need external (Internet) access in
order to obtain the update. (The Remote Update option assumes that the 700wl Series system unit being
updated can access the ProCurve technical support website to download the update.)
The distribution file must initially be downloaded from the HP technical support website, but you can
download it to any local system—it is not downloaded directly to a 700wl Series system unit. Once the
distribution file is stored on a local system, you upload it from the local system into the 700wl Series
system Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager. Software updates of your 700wl Series
systems are then performed using the distribution file saved on the Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager. You can store up to four distribution files on a ProCurve Access Control Server or
Integrated Access Manager.
Obtaining the Software Distribution File
To download a software distribution file from the ProCurve Technical Support website and upload it
onto your Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, do the following:
Step 1. Download the distribution file from the ProCurve website to a local system.
Step 2. In the 700wl Series system Administrative Interface, under Maintenance/Software Update,
select the Local Update tab to display the Local Update page, as shown in Figure 8-5.
