============================================================================== Quad Micro Works Square One Personal Server Firmware Version 1.0 Build 200611272020 ============================================================================== Table of Contents I. Description II. Installation Procedure III. Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I. Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This firmware contains the basic operating system software and administrative user interface for Quad Micro Works's Square One Personal Internet Server. Quad Micro Works from time to time releases new versions of the Square One firmware in order to add new features or address reported issues. New firmwares can be downloaded the Download section of the QMW web site at http://www.quadmicroworks.com/downloads/. The firmware is provided in two variants, which are distinguised by filename. (Both variants are provided in this package.) The file whose name ends with '.bin' will RESET all user settings to factory defaults when installed. The file whose name ends with '.user.bin' will preserve user settings. If you wish to upgrade your firmware without affecting your settings, you must use the file whose name ends with '.user.bin'. (Note: If your computer is configured to hide filename extensions, as is the default in Windows XP, the filename of the setting-preserving variant of the firmware will appear to end with '.user'. The filename of the non-setting-preserving firmware will appear to have no extension.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ II. Installation Procedure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To install this firmware: 1. Extract the contents of this ZIP archive to a folder on your computer. 2. Decide which variant of the firmware you wish to use. (See the Description section above for a discussion of the two variants.) 3. In your browser, go to the Square One admin interface (the default URL is http://192.168.1.1:8090). 4. Click Administration, and then click Firmware Update. 5. Select "Install from desktop", click Browse, select the desired firmware file, and double-click it. 6. Click Apply. Square One will upload the firmware file, install the firmware, and then restart automatically. Please be patient, as the installation and restarting process may take up to three minutes, during which no indication of progress will appear in the browser. Please do not move away from the Firmware Update page for at least sixty seconds. Then, you can check whether the process is complete by clicking the Home icon and seeing whether the welcome page opens. When the welcome page can be opened, the process is complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.
