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.

29 -Crestron's Package Update Tool is the most convenient way of performing firmware updates for devices that use .puf files for firmware. The Package Update Tool can be opened from Toolbox, but doing this will lock Toolbox and only allow updating one device at a time, so we recommend instead that you double-click the .puf file directly. Double-clicking a .puf file will allow you to open multiple instance of the Package Update Tool and enable updating multiple devices simultaneously. Once again, **be careful when updating multiple devices simultaneously not to do anything that would disrupt your connection to a device while transferring the .puf file, nor should you do anything that could result in the device rebooting while it is mid-update**.

34 -* Use the Address Book or the Pencil icon to connect to your processor and wait for it to connect
35 -* Verify that the correct .puf and target device are selected
36 -** Verify the information under "Package Info" matches what is expected for the desired firmware, and re-select the .puf using the "Select..." button if the information is incorrect

45 -While most networked devices will use .puf files for firmware updates, some devices (such as DIN-DALI-2) will use .zip files. In these instances, the Package Update Tool will not work to update the firmware and you must instead use the "Functions..." menu to select and load the firmware.

49 49  Controlled hardware such as Cresnet and infinetEX devices are less frequently updated, but nonetheless will occasionally require firmware updates. ZUMLINK devices should always be updated, but these devices are automatically updated whenever their host ZUMNET device is updated as long as the ZUMLINK device is online and uniquely addressed.
