3. Type the URL to the firmware directory or file, or click Browse to locate the firmware file and
release notes on your local system.
If release notes are available in the same file path specified in the URL, they are automatically
imported along with the firmware when importing from a URL. When importing from a file on
your local system, you must specify the release notes separately.
4. Click Import.
If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, a dialog box appears in which you type the
proxy port and proxy host information. Depending on your configuration, you might also need to
provide a user name and password for proxy authentication. Proxy information is saved only for
that particular Fabric Manager session. The URL is stored in the database. The next time you start a
Fabric Manager client and connect, you must perform a proxy authentication again.
If you entered a URL to a firmware directory, the Select Firmwares to Import window appears.
