Ideally, the Universal Desktop OS 2 firmware should be distributed via the deployment appliance if a large number of target devices are to be converted and transferring the firmware to each one via USB stick would involve too much work.

Define any computer as the administrator computer. What is important is that this computer is in the same network as the computers that are to be converted.

Load onto this computer:

  • either VMware Workstation, VMware Player or Oracle VM VirtualBox
  • the IGEL OVA file with the PXE-Server-VM
  • the UDC2 software


You can now roll out firmware to all computers within your network from this administrator computer.

Distributing UDC via USB


The PXE server, also known as the appliance server, is configured via a web interface. The actual administration, the setup and the firmware rollout are carried out by the PXE server itself.
