Using software library, you can store the software and firmware files that you download. After you download a firmware file in the Software Library, you can use the downloaded file across multiple devices.
With software library, you can also create, modify, view, and delete the firmware files.
For upgrading the firmware files, use an external server that functions as a remote software library. To upload the firmware files from System Manager, you must configure an FTP, SCP, or SFTP protocol for the external server.
Note:
A local, non-editable software library, SMGR_DEFAULT_LOCAL, resides within System Manager post installation. You require only remote software library for upgrading IP Office. For upgrading other elements, you can use a local or remote library.
