Firmware update
The firmware update can be performed only for used devices that are either configurable, in recovery
mode, or require a firmware update. An ongoing verification/sniffing, observation, recording, or just
being armed will prevent the device from being upgraded.
A firmware update is required if the major software version has changed. Minor software versions are
compatible and do not require a firmware update.
In case a firmware update is required, no other actions can be performed.
To manually update the firmware, click Tools > Firmware update.
By default, the firmware update that came with the last installation is used for the actual firmware
update and the corresponding version is displayed. You can use a local firmware image by clearing
the Default image check box and browsing the custom image path.
During the firmware update, you may also need to update the slaves. A slave can be either the
internal slave or an external extension device. The slave is automatically rebooted without the need for
rebooting the device. In case a slave update is required only (represented again through an issue), the
slave update is performed as a single step.
A step-based progress is displayed (finished or error). The following figure shows the firmware update
progress.

The whole firmware update may take up to two minutes including reboot and slave updates.
Important:
During the firmware update, the bandwidth is not limited.
Extension devices are automatically updated during the firmware update process if needed.
To avoid an automatic update, unplug the extension devices.
