If the digitalSTROM server is not connected to the Internet, the available system updates can also be made available using a USB stick (offline).
Download the digitalSTROM software updates: Open the download page of the digitalSTROM software updates in a browser and download the available updates to your computer as a compressed file.
Unpack the compressed file and copy both directories into the main directory of the USB stick. This requires at least one gigabyte of free disk space and the USB stick needs to be formatted using FAT32.
Installing the digitalSTROM software update
Insert the USB stick into the USB port on the housing of the running digitalSTROM server. Then the system update starts automatically, which is indicated by a flashing yellow-blue LED.
It may take up to 2 minutes for the LED to start flashing. The LED can also remain in the yellow or blue state for a short time during the update. If the LED remains permanently in the green state for 2 minutes, the update has been successfully completed.
During a system update via USB stick, the available firmware updates are automatically installed on the connected digitalSTROM meters and all server apps are updated.
In addition to the software update, dss11-usb-Upgrade also contains all newly available digitalSTROM Server Apps that can be installed directly from the main Apps section.
After a successful system update or the installation of additional digitalSTROM components, check the availability of firmware updates for digitalSTROM meters in the system settings of the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator.
