How to Assign Firmware Updates to Devices in the IGEL UMS

There are various options for assigning a registered firmware update to a device.

Assigning a firmware update will not trigger the update process, only the information required for the update will be transferred to the device. After the assignment, you also need to launch the update process to update the devices.

Assign the Firmware Update

Direct assignment:

using drag & drop
using Assigned Objects in the device view

Indirect assignment:

via a device directory

If you are using a Windows-based device, refer to the chapters Snapshots and Partial Update in the Windows 10 IoT manual.

Launch the Update Process

Right-click on the device in the UMS structure tree.
From the context menu, select Update & snapshot commands > Update or Update when shutting down.
