Software Download
The download command is used to update the firmware in ZvBox as well as ZvCli. An internet connection is
required, and a ZvBox must be connected. The ZvBox serial number is used by ZeeVee’s download servers to
download the proper revision of software for that ZvBox.
Syntax
download
Selecting the ‘check’ option will check for available updates for both the firmware and ZvCli. It does not
download them. We recommend doing this step first.
Downloading firmware (‘download firmware’) will attempt to set the ZvBox firmware to the correct revision as
determined by the ZeeVee download servers and the ZvBox serial number. In most cases, if available, newer
firmware is loaded. It is possible that an earlier revision is loaded instead – this can happen if some problem
was detected in the current firmware, and a step back is preferred.
Although ZvBox can recover from an aborted update, it is recommended that you allow enough time for this
process to complete. Roughly 10 minutes are required, excluding the time needed to download the new
software.
It is possible that a download check will recommend an older version of ZvCli. This can happen if you connect to
an older ZvBox. We recommend keeping your existing (newer) version, unless you prefer to go back.
Configuration Script read / write
These commands are designed to help manage multiple ZvBoxes in large deployments. Script Read will read a
text file full of commands and comments and send them to the connected ZvBox. Script Write will read the
current parameters out of the connected ZvBox and write them to a file.
Syntax
script write‐config‐to‐file
script read‐config‐from‐file
Example:
ZvCli$ script write‐config‐to‐file C:\ZvScripts\configoutput.txt
Configuration written to file

ZvCli$
