Network Upgrade installs new ﬁrmware versions on large numbers of nodes with

one operation. Since network upgrades function on all nodes in the Node List, make

sure the Node List is complete and current before performing a Network Upgrade.

1. Click “Network Conﬁguration” > “Network Upgrade.”

2. Browse and select the appropriate upgrade ﬁle.

3. Check or uncheck “Require All.” If checked, the update will be installed if

and only if all the nodes in the Node List are accessible. If unchecked, the

update will be installed to only those nodes in the Node List that are accessible.

Network Upgrades will cause nodes to be reconﬁgured, an operation that

causes a period of downtime. Do not perform Network Upgrades during

mission critical operations that cannot tolerate such disruptions. Under such

situations, perform Network Upgrades only during scheduled maintenance or

other appropriate times.

4. Click the “Upload” button to upgrade ﬁrmware for all nodes in the Node List.

NOTE: When upgrading or downgrading a node’s ﬁrmware, it is normal for the LED

to turn off for 30 seconds then turn on.

Do not unnecessarily disturb devices during a Network Upgrade. Loss of power

during the Network Upgrade can permanently damage a device.
