There are two screens which give an overview of Boxes in your organisation.
The "Devices" screen and the "Configure Devices" screen.

The "Configure Devices" screen is the main starting window for managing your fleet of Vivi Boxes.
At the top of the screen, there is an option to "Update Firmware" and another button (labelled "…") which loads the bulk configuration menu. These buttons are not activated until at least one Box is selected.
This screen also allows you to select the Boxes to update, restart or configure. The list can be filtered by location by using the drop-down box at the top of the screen. There is also the option to select all Boxes, or to make your own selection of Boxes.

Restarts are commonly used commands. Vivi Boxes can be restarted in bulk.
The restarts behave in the same way as they do when you connect to the Web Console, namely:
Soft Restart – With a Soft Restart, the Vivi software is restarted and it synchronises with any new settings available in Vivi Central.
Hard Restart – This is the equivalent of physically restarting the Box.
Please Note: Vivi recommend trying a "Soft Restart" over a "Hard Restart" in the first instance as it means the Box does not go offline. It will however disconnect any active users.
