#) **Download Firmware**: If your node has Internet access you can use the *Download Firmware* option. Click *Refresh* to update the list of available images. The source URLs that are queried are those listed on the *Advanced Configuration* page of your node. Select the image to download, click *Download*, and wait for the firmware to download and be installed.
#) **Load Local Firmware**: If you need to upgrade the firmware on a node which has a marginal connection to the network, the standard web/http method may not reliably transfer the image to the node. In this situation you may want to use an independent means of uploading the firmware to the node before beginning the upgrade process. Choose an upload method such as ``scp`` (secure copy) which tracks the status of the file transfer and continues the upload in the event of a network interruption. Transfer the new firmware file to your node, place it in the ``/tmp/web`` folder, and name it ``local_firmware.bin``. Refresh your node's *Administration* page and once the page detects the ``/tmp/web/local_firmware.bin`` file, then the *Apply Local Firmware* button will become active. Press this button to begin the update process using the firmware you previously uploaded.

In this situation you may want to use an independent means of uploading the firmware to the node before beginning the upgrade process. Choose an upload method such as ``scp`` (secure copy) with a long connection timeout, which may allow the file transfer to continue the upload in the event of a network interruption. Transfer the new firmware file to your node, place it in the ``/tmp/web`` folder, and name it ``local_firmware.bin``. Refresh your node's *Administration* page and once the page detects the ``/tmp/web/local_firmware.bin`` file, then the *Apply Local Firmware* button will become active. Press this button to begin the update process using the firmware you previously uploaded.
Package Management
Here you can install or remove software packages on the node. *Upload Package* allows you to install a package file by uploading it from your computer to your node. *Download Package* allows Internet-connected nodes to retrieve a package from the AREDN |trade| website. Clicking *Refresh* will update the list of packages available for download.
