Download firmware from
- Download service = firmware images are downloaded from the ‘master’ workstation in the local network. This ‘master’ workstation downloads the firmware images from Apple.
- Apple server = firmware images are downloaded from Apple (default).
- Do not download = never download firmware images, use the ones that are available on the workstation. If the version information (version.xml) points to a file that is not available on the workstation, then erasure is not possible.
Automatically download firmware when device is connected
- Enabled = the latest (based on current version.xml) firmware image is downloaded when device is connected if it’s not already available.
- Disabled = firmware image is not downloaded when device is connected
Automatically update firmware packages
- Enabled = the latest (based on current version.xml) firmware images are automatically downloaded. Automatic downloads are started after version.xml changes or between a specified time window if ‘Schedule downloading updates between following times’ is defined.
- Disabled = firmware images are not automatically downloaded
Schedule downloading updates between following times
- This selection is only possible if ‘Automatically update firmware packages’ has been enabled
- The firmware downloads are scheduled between ‘Start time’ and ‘Stop time’
- If ‘Stop time’ is reached and there are still firmware downloads waiting, the current ongoing download is finished, but new ones are not started
Automatically update version information
- Define what is the interval in days to update the version information from Apple (version.xml file, defines the latest firmware images that Apple supports)
- If 'Update now' is pressed, then version information is updated immediately (latest version.xml file is downloaded)
