26.3 Firmware Management
Use the Firmware Management screen to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to
the Zyxel Device.
Note: The Web Configurator is the recommended method for uploading firmware. You only
need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware. See the
CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the firmware and
how to recover it.
Find the firmware file in a folder that (usually) uses the system model name with the model code and a
bin extension. For example, a firmware for USG FLEX 200HP is “100ABEX0b3s1.bin”.
The Zyxel Device’s firmware package cannot go through the Zyxel Device when you enable the anti-
malware Destroy compressed files that could not be decompressed option. The Zyxel Device classifies
the firmware package as not being able to be decompressed and deletes it. You can upload the
firmware package to the Zyxel Device with the option enabled, so you only need to clear the Destroy
compressed files that could not be decompressed option while you download the firmware package.
See
Section 18.2 on page 291 for more on the anti-malware Destroy compressed files that could not be
decompressed option.
The firmware update can take up to five minutes. Do not turn off or reset
the Zyxel Device while the firmware update is in progress!
If your Zyxel Device has two firmware images installed, and one fails to boot (kernel crash, kernel panic,
out-of-memory etc.), then the Zyxel Device will automatically use the (good) backup image to boot.
26.3.1 Cloud Helper
Cloud Helper lets you know if there is a later firmware available on the Cloud Helper server and lets you
download it if there is.
Monthly Set the Zyxel Device to back up its configuration file once a month on the specified day, at the
a specified hour and minute.
Note: If the date you select is greater than the number of days in a month, the Zyxel
Device automatically backs up its configuration file on the last day of the
month. For example, if you select 31 and the month is February, the Zyxel
Device backs up its configuration file on day 28 or 29.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device.
Reset Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
