The firmware in native Zenitel devices can be updated directly through the Zenitel Connect Pro (ZCP) web interface. (For upgrade of the ZCP server it self, see upgrading the Zenitel Connect Pro server).

Zenitel releases both device firmware and Zenitel Connect Pro software simultaneously, as device functionality in Connect Pro mode may depend on software compatibility. To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, it is strongly recommended to update device firmware to the version that matches the installed Zenitel Connect Pro software. |
Go to System > Software Update and select the Device Upgrade icon 
You will now get an overview of the software versions currently used by the devices in the installation. In brackets are shown the number of stations using that specific version:

Device that predates June 2019 may not be available for upgrade in ZCP as they do not have the recovery partition needed. This was introduced in the factory image for sw version 5.x.x.x. Any such device must be updated using the Image recovery - Zenitel Devices based on iMX28. |
