abcZ Network Tool

Find REDZ devices on your network and update their firmware - one device or a whole list.

What it does

Find the devices, update their firmware

abcZ Network Tool finds REDZ devices on your network and shows the product, firmware version and build date of each one. It updates their firmware over the network, one device at a time or a whole list of devices, with an optional pilot device that goes first. Before it writes, it checks the image against the device; afterwards it reads the running version back to confirm the update.

Discovery

Scan an address range, also behind routers, or discover the devices in the PC's own subnet.

Fleet update

Fleet update from a CSV list: a pilot device is updated first, the others only if it succeeds; a report file of every run.

Safety checks

The expected product name, the image variant against the device, the checksum from the firmware package's release file.

A confirmed result

The bank switch is sent once and never repeated blindly; the result is the version and build date read back from the device.
