the active firmware version by selecting the Activation radio button for the firmware that
is shown as active in the Type column.
2. Click Reboot. The UTM reboots. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains
visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front

Update the Scan Signatures and Scan Engine Firmware
