Preparation
Please read the following notes and make preparations as necessary.
Notes
- To perform a full update of the firmware, you will need to reboot the Edge Gateway after updating the firmware. If you have not saved the configuration file, the settings you have configured before rebooting the Edge Gateway will not be reflected. Save the settings in the configuration file in advance, or configure them again after rebooting the Edge Gateway.
