Device Upgrade

The Device Upgrade screen displays information about devices receiving updates within the controller or service platform managed network. Use this screen to gather version data, install firmware images, boot an image and upgrade status.

Controllers, service platforms or APs can be RF domain managers capable of receiving device firmware files from the NOC then provisioning other devices within their same RF domain. Controllers, service platforms and APs can now all update the firmware of different device models within their RF domain. However, firmware updates cannot be made simultaneously to devices in different site deployments.

To view the device upgrade statistics:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Expand the RF Domain node.
3. Select the Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane.
4. Select Device Upgrade.

   

   

   The Upgrade screen displays the following information:

   Device Hostname	Displays the administrator-assigned hostname of the device receiving the update.
   Type	Displays the model type of the device receiving a firmware update from the provisioning controller or service platform.
   State	Displays the current state of the upgrade process (done, failed, etc.).
