What impact does the CTM update process have on the device?

The update process generally consists of the following steps:

1. Transferring the firmware file to the device
2. Verifying the file's validity
3. Writing the firmware to the device's memory
4. Activating the new firmware by restarting the device
    

The two main methods differ in when the restart is performed:

• If you activate the firmware manually through the portal, you need to initiate the restart separately. This also allows you to choose the timing yourself.
   
• For firmware updates through the automated process starting from 19.09.2024, the restart will be triggered by the portal.
   

Effects of a router restart:

• Integrated network switch:
  • With mbNET: From HW:06 the switch in mbNET is software configurable. This causes interruptions when restarting.
  • With mbNET.mini: Interruptions may occur during the boot process.
     
• WAN/LAN communication:
  • No transmission during the boot process for about 60 seconds
     
• mbEDGE applications:
  • Several minutes until they become active again after the reboot.
