To return the instrument to its original default settings, press the System Preset button.
Power down and then power up the instrument using the Reboot button. (Network connectivity could be lost during this function. If the unit is configured for DHCP, then its IP address could also change after the reboot.)
Firmware Version and Installed Options display the current version of the firmware and the options included in the firmware.
Set the supply voltage for the GPS antenna in use by clicking on the GPS Supply Voltage list and selecting the desired voltage.
Press the Check for Updates button to check for recent releases of firmware. A simple check will be done by the software server to see what version of software is on the instrument. If the current firmware is up to date, you will be notified that it is. If not, a dialog will display and state that new firmware is available. Press the Install Update button to install the new firmware. The Advanced check box opens a firmware list - the current release, new firmware if available, and previously released versions of firmware. Select the desired firmware version and press the Update to Selected button.
To inform users that the RSM is in use, click the RSM in Use check box. Red text in browser will inform users that the RSM is in use.
