The latest firmware version is automatically updated on provisioned Yealink and Poly devices. The firmware version that can be installed on devices can be set by you if you don’t want them to be automatically upgraded. With this option you can keep up to 2 versions of firmware behind the most up-to-date firmware version for specific versions of your devices.

Prerequisites

• There are three types of accounts: Pro, Business, and Education
• The account owner or administrator has the following rights:
• License for Zoom Phone

Regulations for firmware updates – limitations

• In order to be able to keep your software up to date, you will need to add a firmware update rule that allows you to stay two firmware versions behind the latest version of the software. The web portal will show you a warning message if you have a rule set 3 or more versions behind its latest version and you need to update it as soon as possible.
• Unfortunately, not every Poly or Yealink device supports firmware update rules. It is possible that when you are adding a rule, you will not be able to add a certain device.

How to view firmware provisioned for devices

In order to view the firmware version of provisioned devices, you need to view the list of desk phones / ATAs, specific ATAs, or common area phones. All of these are in the list of desk phones / ATAs (unassigned or assigned). When a device cannot be provisioned or does not support sharing of firmware version, dashes are displayed.

The firmware version can be added as a column by clicking on the gear icon at the top of the device list and then selecting Firmware Version. A toggle button is available here to enable or disable this column.
