Updating Network Computer Operating System

Use this form to update the operating system if you have a new version of the javaos binary. If your NC has flash memory, the new binary is stored in flash memory, and is available for use when the NC is rebooted or powered on.

Flash memory enables the JavaStation to store the latest version of JavaOS locally in non-volatile memory. Flash memory enables the JavaStation to boot faster. Use the Update Network Computer Operating System module to reconfigure the existing network environment to the new javaos binary.

To Update New javaos Binary
Note -

You can only update flash memory in JavaStation client tower models.

  1. From the Main Administration page, under "Network Computer Administration," click Network Computer Server.

    The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

  2. Under "Global Network Computer Management," click Update Network Computer Operating System.

    The Update Network Computer Operating System window is displayed.

  3. Complete the form using the information in the following table.
