Deploy Device Software (Step by step)
Use this function to configure a step-by-step software deployment task for selected devices. In the task, you can set the time when the file will be uploaded to the selected devices, when the file will be set as the startup file, and when the devices will be restarted.
To deploy software to a device, perform the following steps.
Operation Procedure
- Click Select Devices. On the pop-up device list, select
one or multiple devices.
- Select the software version.
- Select whether to check the available disk space on the selected devices.
- Enter the task name.
- Set the time when the file will be uploaded to the devices.
- Set the time when the file will be set as the startup file on the devices.
- Set the time when the devices will be restarted.
- Type information in the Task Description text box.
Precautions
- When a large number of devices are selected for deployment, you might need to wait some time for the browser to load the list of devices.
- The Upload File at time must be earlier than the Set Uploaded File as Startup File at time, which, in turn, must be earlier than the Restart Devices at time. Leave enough time between two sequential tasks to make sure the pervious task can be completed before the next task starts.
Parameters
- If it is a deployment task, the software can be
deployed in batches on the devices.
After a device is selected, the Update Version column of the
current line shows the names of the software versions that are higher
than the current running version on the device.
- For the Save to Device column of the current line,
select the path of the current device. Also, you can click Modify
and type a different path in the pop-up window. The path should be
within 32 characters.
- Check Device Space: Select this option to check the available disk space on a device. If the device does not have enough space, you must manually delete the device from the list of devices selected for the task.
- By default, a task name is composed of the type of the current deployment task and the current time. In the Task Name text box, you can type a maximum of 32 characters.
- In the Task Description text box, you can type a maximum of 128 characters.
