The operating system software upgrade is performed using yum software package manager. The repositories sites providing RPM packages are configured from /etc/yum.repos.d/. TelcoBridges provides its own repository of operating system files (http://repo.telcobridges.com).
If the unit or Linux server does not have access to Internet (or does not have DNS configured), you should configure an offline repository on your local machine as explained in the section bellow.
