Select the end devices to update from the list. If needed, use the search dialog box to
search for specific End Devices or select all end devices on the page using the

The

the ZW-REC. The ZW-REC will then update each selected End Device the next time it checks in.
The update process may take several minutes for each End Device and the ZW-REC will finish
updating one End Device before starting on the next. While the upgrade is happening the End
Device being upgraded will not record data or transmit readings. All other End Devices will
function normally and the ZW-REC will continue to function normally.
Once an End Device is updated it reboots and reconnects to the ZW-REC. The new Firmware
number is shown in the End Device Status Page.
Note:
If the ZW-REC or End Device is powered off during a Firmware Upgrade the
End Device Being Upgraded my need to be restarted before it will work again.
