    4.1 Upgrade Software from ZPE Cloud

    Before using the device, upgrade the version. This ensures all the latest features are available with the latest security patches. Administrators should review Release Notes.

    NOTE

    The recommended minimum version for this guide is 5.6.7.

    1. On ZPE Cloud, go to DEVICES :: ENROLLED.

    2. In the table, locate the device. Confirm device version and it is Online.

    5. In the Apply menu, select the Now radio button (operation is immediately executed immediately).

    6. Click SAVE.

    7. The upgrade process takes a few minutes, depending on internet connectivity. The unit reboots and automatically updates the version on ZPE Cloud.

    8. To review current firmware upgrade status, go to PROFILES :: OPERATION :: JOBS.

    4.2 Apply Base Configuration

    ZPE Cloud can automatically configure Nodegrid devices and push configurations and scripts for management and Edge automation.

    After successful upgrade, a baseline configuration is applied. This enables Out-of-Band access from ZPE Cloud (default: disabled). The default idle timeout is set to 300 seconds. More complex or complete configurations can also be pushed (not part of this guide).
