Over-the-air update for firmware

Follow this procedure to update the firmware for UBIQUITY routers and OptixPanel™.

Note: Updating the firmware on some devices might require you to first install a transitional firmware image before proceeding with the actual version update.

Update through UBIQUITY Manager

  1. Access UBIQUITY Manager, go to the Explorer > Domain view section and and select the device that you wish to update.
  2. On the right pane, check the Update Status parameter in the right pane of the same section. If a newer version of the device software is available, the Available appears under the Update Status parameter.
  3. Select the Update Firmware button.
  4. A dialog window opens up.

    Select the firmware version that you want to update among Stable, Beta, Certified (if available).

    Select the update occurence, depending on whether you wish to start the process immediately (Now) or within a given time frame (Within time window).

  5. Select Schedule.
Note: UBIQUITY Manager attempts to perform a scheduled update up to three times, in case the updating process did not occur successfully.
Note: It is possible to schedule an update while the device is offline. The system will start or resume the updating process at the specified time if the device is online.
Important: Make sure that the device is not rebooted while its firmware update is in progress.
