Updating system software
When the display is connected to the Internet, it updates the system software and the firmware
automatically.
When an update to the system software or firmware is available, the display downloads the update
in the background then waits for four hours of inactivity. When that happens, the display shows a
two-minute countdown before beginning the update. The countdown can be interrupted at any
time. The update begins when the countdown is complete. The display shows a blank screen for
four minutes. When the update is complete, the display shows the Whiteboard and any content
that was on Whiteboard before the update.
NOTE
You can configure your organization’s network to allow or prevent automatic system software
and firmware updates (see Configuring the network for the display on page30).
