There are two different sets of RansNet firmware
For the gateway series (eg. CMG, HSG, LOG, mfusion). The software is labelled as RANOS_xxx during distribution.
For the branch series (eg. UA, HSA, XE, UAP). The software is labelled as RANOSL_xxx during distribution.
The gateway series hardware come with SSD storage and use a lot more powerful computing platform. So they can handle more user connections, more routing tables, run SQL database with web interfaces etc. The branch series are light version of gateway series, mainly intended to be used as mini gateway for the branch offices. However, both series have similar network, security and routing features.
Become some of the features are specific to gateway series (especially for SD-WAN orchestration/mfusion), we maintain seperate firmware and release notes for gateway and branch series. This section only list the recent release notes. Please contact RansNet support to inquiry about older releases.

Please take note below pre-requisites before firmware upgrade:
Firmware software releases are stored on mfusion orchestrator. For on-premise mfusion, please contact RansNet support to request for offline copies to upload to your on-premise mfusion.
Each RansNet device needs to be provisioned and activated on mfusion (cloud or on-premise) to pull the upgrades.
Each device must have a valid warranty support status to entitle for a valid activation token. Distributors will be given an account to mportal to generate activation token for each device. For resellers (or end customers), please contact your distributor to request activation tokens for your devices (if not given already).
And follow below steps to upgrade:
(for on-premise mfuison only) Upload release binary file to mfusion, ‘ADMIN > Releases‘ menu (only for on-premise/private firmware deployment, done by mboxadmin only)
Provision Host on mfusion. Refer to this link Provisioning device
Navigate to the menu "ORCHESTRATOR > Configuration --> Gateway/Branch Devices",
select the device you want to upgrade, then click on "Selected" button --> Mass Update, and click "Firmware Upgrade"
Enter the Firmware Version or keep it blank for the mfusion to install the latest Firmware version then click on the ‘OK‘ button
