SD Card Remote Provisioning - IMG 1004
Topic Location: IMG 1004-Installation and Setup Guide > IMG 1004-SD Card
Overview
This feature provides a means for installing new versions of system software to IMG 1004
located at remote sites with no BOOTP server, by allowing remote access to the SD card on
the IMG 1004. The SD Card is a small memory card much like the memory cards used in
digital cameras and other devices. The IMG 1004 has an SD card slot positioned on the right
hand side of the front panel just below the USB port. Prior to software version 10.3.x the only
way to access and edit information on the SD Card would have been to physically go to the
remote IMG 1004, pull the card out, insert it into an SD Reader, and edit the information on
the SD Card. A new feature which has been implemented in software build 10.5.0 provisions
the IMG 1004 as an FTP server instead of just an FTP client. This will give the user the ability
to transfer files to and from the SD Card using the FTP utility. The FTP server functionality is
disabled by default and would need to be enabled through ClientView in order for the remote
provisioning to work.
