KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 12 Configuration/General/Update
On this page the device can be configured to poll an update server (a normal web server).
A file pointed to by an URL is read from the update server and executed. This is an
efficient mechanism to keep a large number of devices up to date. See chapter 13
“Configuration of the Update Server” for a detailed description of the available
commands.
URL
An URL, for example http://192.168.0.1/update/script-ip800.txt, pointing to a file
whose
commands are executed.
If the URL ends with a slash '/', for example ht
tp://192.168.0.1/update/, the device is
adding the file name update-ipxxx.htm automatically, deduced from the device short
name (for example update-ip800.htm). Furthermore some placeholders may be used in
the URL-String as described in the update servers scfg command description.
These placeholders may be used e.g. to address a
device-specific directory (http://
192.168.1.2/update/#h/script.txt) or to generate HTTP-GET parameters (http://
192.168.0.1/update/script.php?mac=#m).
Some standard parameters are always appended to the query part of the URL:
