Import or upgrade a second language file.
The following methods for transferring files are supported:
•
HTTP/HTTPS that uses the facilities provided by the browser
•
TFTP that requires a TFTP server
•
Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) that requires an SCP server
If a new language file was loaded onto the device, the new language can be
selected from the drop-down menu. (It is not necessary to reboot the device).
There are two firmware images stored on the device. One of the images is
identified as the active image and other image is identified as the inactive image.
When you upgrade the firmware, the new image always replaces the image
identified as the inactive image.
Even after uploading new firmware on the device, the device continues to boot by
using the active image (the old version) until you change the status of the new
image to be the active image by using the procedure in the

section. Then boot the device.
