Synergis™ Cloud Link supports security updates in the field. From Config Tool, you can apply fixes or patches to security vulnerabilities as they are discovered.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the firmware installed on the unit is version 10.9 or later, and the unit has at least 1.5 GB of available storage.
  • For Synergis™ Cloud Link units that have image version 3.3.2 or earlier, contact Technical Support.
  • For Synergis™ Cloud Link units that have image version 4.0 or earlier, see KBA-79036.

What you should know

  • It is recommended to schedule the upgrade outside of core business hours.
    IMPORTANT: The update can cause 30 - 60 minutes of downtime. During that time, the unit might reboot twice to complete the installation of the cumulative security rollup.
  • You can also upgrade the cumulative security rollup on Synergis™ Cloud Link units in batches directly in Config Tool, using the Hardware inventory task.

    For more information, see Upgrading access control unit firmware and platform, and interface module firmware.
