After the upgrade activity completes, the process deletes the file from the
temporary folder.
Click Next.
When upgrading a group, the process bypasses any devices that do not match
the model(s) for the selected firmware. If there are no matching devices that
require a version upgrade, the wizard informs you with a message.
Upgrading to the identical version as the selected firmware is not allowed. When
upgrading a group, the process bypasses any devices with the same firmware
version.
If the selected firmware file version is lower than the currently installed version
in a single device, or lower than any of the currently installed versions in a
device group, the application provides version control. In the Confirm Selected
Firmware page, select the Proceed with firmware downgrade check box to
confirm that you wish to downgrade devices to a previous firmware version.
Note: Only select the Proceed with firmware downgrade check box if you
are sure you want to downgrade any newer firmware files in devices to the
older version you have selected. If you do not want to downgrade any device to
a previous version, leave the check box cleared.
After confirming the selected firmware, click Next, or if the Next button is
unavailable, do one of the following:
Click Cancel and exit the wizard. If the devices already have the selected
version, no upgrade is needed. Otherwise, select a different firmware, or
select a different group on which to perform the upgrade.
If the selected firmware is a lower version, and you select the Proceed with
firmware downgrade check box, the wizard will make the Next button
available and allow a downgrade to a lower version. Only select the Proceed
with firmware downgrade if you are sure you want to downgrade any
newer firmware files in devices to the older version you have selected.
During a firmware upgrade, the system applies upgrade actions at run time
based on the format of the master file (WiseCore 2 or later). The firmware files
are refreshed at run time prior to the upgrade. The action taken determines the
upgrade performance and the results are recorded in the log file, located in the
KMnetAdmin\log folder. During firmware upgrade, the device icon and status
changes according to the upgrade process in the List View.
Firmware Upgrade compares refreshed firmware versions in the database with
versions in the selected master file.
Note: The firmware master file usually consists of multiple firmware files. For
this master file, the firmware upgrade does not perform a version comparison
between the current version (in the database) and the selected firmware
versions. Firmware upgrade can apply portions of firmware files from one
master file. For example, an upgrade might successfully install System
Firmware and Panel Firmware with engine firmware failing to install. A log file
provides a record of all results.
You can set communication options between networks and devices.
