3. Click Platform Upgrade under the Web Remote Access option.
4. Browse the software image file by clicking the select file button.
5. Click upload button to send the file to the RTU-300.
6. Once the upload process is completed and file verification is successful, click upgrade button.
7. Users will be asked to confirm if the upgrade procedure should continue, as a reboot will be performed during the upgrading process.
8. When the upgrade process has been completed, log back in to the RTU-300 and verify that the Platform software version was updated on the home screen.
