Status Summary
Once the download is started, this area updates with status information for the download operation.
Download Type
The download will be performed in parallel (simultaneously) on the number of devices specified in
the Groups of field. By default, the downloads will occur in sequential order (Groups of: 1). This is
to protect against possible isolation of other devices that are in the download list.
CAUTION: Because many devices automatically reset following a download operation,
performing a Download Type greater than 1 may isolate other devices in the
download list, causing their downloads to fail. It is recommended that you leave the
Groups of value at 1 (perform the downloads serially), unless you know it is safe to
have the selected network devices reset simultaneously.
