5.11.1 Device Firmware Upgrade
Apply device firmware updates directly over the network. IPA has implemented a
special update protocol to update an individual device or consecutively update all
devices discovered on the local network with only a single command.
The first step is to place the respective update .zip file in a "\update" folder inside the
directory, where the IPA Manager software is installed. The IPA Manager is then
instructed to update devices from a selected file archive.
Example of update folder location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IPA Manager\update
Follow the step by step procedure below to update the firmware:
1) By default, the update folder is in the same directory as the IPA Manager
executable and named "\update". If the "\update" folder does not exist, it is
necessary to create it.
2) Copy the new firmware update (*.zip file) into the "\update" folder.
3) The system automatically detects the devices compatible with the new firmware
update archive and displays them as orange bars. Devices, not available on the
network earlier will be shown as ‘DISCONNECTED“.
4) Begin the update process: To trigger the upgrade of an individual device, click the
gear icon on the respective device's tile and select "Update Device".
5) The selected device(s) will immediately update their firmware. The respective tiles
will show the progress of the update.
6) When the firmware update is complete, the devices will provide a message to
automatically reboot all updated units.
