Upgrade Nodes via the UI

When you are required to upgrade nodes to the latest firmware, for example, for security fixes, use the Lighthouse UI to upgrade up to 5000 connected nodes per task. You can upgrade nodes either immediately or at a scheduled time, outside normal business hours.

From the main menu, select Node Tools > Firmware Upgrade.

On the FIRMWARE UPGRADE page, the following tabs are available:

• Node Firmware: A filtered dashboard where you can view scheduled, in progress, and completed tasks for node firmware and see their status.

• Modem Firmware: A filtered dashboard where you can view scheduled, in progress, and completed tasks for modem firmware and see their status.

• File Manager: An area that allows upgrade files to be uploaded and a table that displays previously uploaded files.

There is also a Schedule Upgrade button that opens the Firmware Upgrade Wizard. This is where you can set up and schedule firmware upgrades for nodes and modems.

For node firmware upgrades only, completed jobs with the nodes selected can be duplicated to allow easy sequential upgrades. Nodes that failed to upgrade can be re-scheduled.
