17 17  Due to the large file size for processor firmware, the most efficient method of updating firmware is to use dedicated third-party SFTP and SSH clients rather than built-in Toolbox functions. This allows for rapidly transferring the large firmware file to the device and then running the update without locking up Toolbox and preventing you from working on other devices while the firmware update is performed.

75 +Zūm Wired devices are unique among Crestron devices in the fact that the Zūm Link (controlled hardware) device firmware is built into the Zūm Net (networked device) firmware files, and these Zūm Link devices will be updated whenever the host Zūm Net device is updated (with a few caveats mentioned below). While the firmware files for individual Zūm Link devices can be extracted from the "zum-wired_XXX.puf" file using archive tools such as 7-Zip, it is still generally recommended to update Zūm Link firmware using the Package Update Tool
