Firmware
Refer to the Firmware screen for upgrading/downgrading firmware on supported devices. Using this
firmware provisioning feature, WMS can apply a firmware image to a single device or a group of
homogenous devices regardless of the floor or site in which they reside.
Schedule firmware installation jobs at user defined intervals. This involves copying a firmware binary
file to a FTP or TFTP Relay Server. Device firmware files are quite large, so to minimize network
bandwidth, the files are copied to the respective site’s Relay Server(s). The file can then be used any
number of times for all the devices belonging to that site.
Installing device firmware using WMS entails:
● Copying device firmware to the WMS Server
● Importing a firmware image to the WMS repository and assigning metadata (version, applicable
devices, etc.)
For information on importing a device firmware image to the WMS Server, as well as supplying
supported model information and metadata, see “Importing a Firmware Image” on page 172.
