At this time, if the device is authenticated and needs updating, it is checked whether the previous update has failed (S1502).
If the previous update fails, the update file is transmitted, and after the update is executed, the update completion response is checked (S1507). At this time, if there is no update completion response, transaction management unit 320 records the update failure (S1508).
If there is no update failure in step S1502, it is checked whether the file transfer has failed in the previous update (S1503). At this time, if there is no file transfer failure in the previous update, since the update file is in the transmitted state, after executing the update, the update completion response is checked (S1507).
If the file transfer fails in step S1503, the version of the software is checked and the update file is transmitted to the requesting device (S1504). After transmitting the update file, check the file transfer complete response (S1505), if there is no file transfer complete response, generate and send a message to check the physical connection between the IP device 100-1 and the
In step S1505, there is a file transfer completion response, and the update is executed and the update completion response is checked (S1507). At this time, if there is no update completion response, the transaction manager 320 records the update failure (S1508). If there is an update completion response, all failure records are deleted (S1509).
