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.
