15. Refer to the Upgrade Status field to assess the completion of in-progress upgrades.

16. Refer to the following status reported for each current or scheduled upgrade operation:

17. Optionally select Cancel (from the lower, right-hand corner of the screen) to cancel the upgrade

of devices under the selected RF Domain. The Cancel button is enabled only if there are device
undergoing upgrade and they’re are selected for cancellation.

18. Select Upgrade History.

Number of devices
currently being upgraded

Lists the number of firmware upgrades currently in-progress and downloading for selected devices.
Once the device has the image it requires a reboot to implement the firmware image.

Number of devices
currently being booted

Lists the number devices currently booting after receiving an upgrade image. The reboot is
required to implement the new image and renders the device offline during that period. Using the
Device Upgrade List, reboots can be staggered or placed on hold to ensure device remains in
service.

Number of devices waiting
in queue to be upgraded

Lists the number of devices waiting to receive a firmware image from their provisioning controller,
service platform or Access Point. Each device can have its own upgrade time defined, so the
upgrade queue could be staggered.

Number of devices waiting
in queue to be upgraded

Lists the number of devices waiting to reboot before actively utilizing its upgraded image. The
Device Upgrade List list allows an administrator to disable or stagger a reboot time, so device
reboots may not occur immediately after an upgrade. The reboot operation renders the device
offline until completed so reboots can scheduled for periods of reduced load.

Number of devices marked
for cancellation

Lists the number of upgrades that have been manually cancelled during the upgrade operation.

Device Type

Displays the model number of devices pending an upgrade. Each listed device is provisioned an
image file unique to that model.

scheduled upgrades.

Result

Upgrade Time

Displays whether an upgrade is immediate or set by an administrator for a specific time. Staggering
upgrades is helpful to ensure a sufficient number of devices remain in service at any given time
while others are upgrading.

Reboot Time

Displays whether a reboot is immediate or time set by an administrator for a specific time. Reboots
render the device offline, so planning reboots carefully is central to ensuring a sufficient number of
devices remain in service.

Progress

Lists the number of specific device types currently upgrading.

Retries

Displays the number of retries, if any, needed for an in-progress firmware upgrade operation.

Last Status

Lists the last reported upgrade and reboot status of each listed in progress or planned upgrade
operation.
