Step 1. Click on Software Update from the Applications menu.

Step 2.  The Software Update page will appear. In this example, it shows that Partition A (active partition) is running software version 4.3.2.

Note: Software upload and upgrades are only allowed in inactive partitions. In this example, it is Partition B.

Click on Choose file and select the 4.5.1 software image for the smartengine that was provided to you by wtec. Next, hit the Upload button.

Step 3. A prompt will appear which will take an input from the user to proceed with the upload operation.

Hit the OK button.

The upload process will begin, and a progress bar will appear.

Step 4. Upon completion of the upload, Partition Bwill show the 4.5.1 software release for the smartengine.

Click on the Activate button.

Step 5. A prompt will appear requesting acknowledgement to Reboot the system with this image.

Press OK to proceed.

The smartengine will proceed booting up with the 4.5.1 software image. Give it a couple of minutes while the system reboots. Note: Do not power cycle the smartengine. Once HTTPS access is restored again, the user can try accessing the UI @ https://<IP Address of smartengine>.

If the user hovers over the “i” icon on the top right corner or clicks on it, a verification of the newer software 4.5.1 will be revealed.

At this point the smartengine software upgrade is now complete.
