3. From the list of devices in the group, select the checkbox for each device you want to upgrade.

   You can select multiple devices at once.

4. At the top of the page, click Upgrade.

   The Upgrade Configuration window loads.

5. Select when you want to apply the upgrade.

   • Now: Upgrade the device now.
   • Scheduled date and time: Select a later time to schedule your upgrade. You can view and edit your scheduled upgrade from the Scheduled Upgrade tab.

6. From the drop-down lists, select which OS or modem firmware you want to upgrade the device to. You can also a upload a firmware file from your local machine.
