1. Prerequisites
----------------------------------------------------------
When updating firmware, units will take 10-15 minutes to complete their update.
A new process for updating units is being employed. As a result, two major changes are needed. The first change is a minimum version of N-Able that must be used. Please see the N-Able link below:
N-Able PC:
Minimum version of N-Able must be 5.1.27,
The second required change is to enable maintenance mode on encoders and decoders before updating firmware. Please follow these instructions on enabling maintenance mode:
Upgrading to PHP 7.4 (v1.15.71) will take a while (30 - 60 minutes). Once the PHP is updated, subsequent upgrades will take the average 10-15 minutes to complete.
