The Firmware tab carries a library of firmware compatible with the current device, which can be transferred to it without uploading firmware files by hand. Uploading firmware yourself is covered on the Files tab.

Transfer

To transfer a firmware file to the device:

1. Select the firmware file using the button to the left of its row in the table.
2. Select Transfer in the toolbar.
3. Confirm the transfer.

The firmware file is then transferred to the device. Firmware transfers cope with poor internet connections by sending the file in small sections. Check the controller's log for more about the transfer.

Schedule Transfer

To schedule a firmware transfer to the device:

1. Select the firmware file using the button to the left of its row in the table.
2. Select Schedule transfer in the toolbar.
3. Choose a date and time for the transfer, given in the site's local time.
4. Save the changes.
5. The firmware file's row then shows when the transfer is scheduled.

To edit or delete a scheduled transfer, select the file again and choose Schedule transfer in the toolbar.

Note

A firmware file may carry compatibility notes. Read them before transferring the file, so you know it suits the device you are sending it to.
