4.15 Distributing software to clients or devices
You can distribute more up-to-date clients or firmware versions. Version control is performed via Swyx version server.
* 
SwyxPhone telephones require the "https:" URL scheme. If you want to distribute the desired SwyxPhone firmware from a local server, make sure that the server supports HTTPS connections.
 
If a more recent version is available, you have the following options to release the version data from the Swyx version server for distribution to the registered users or endpoints on your network:
*Manually: Check if a more recent version is available on the Swyx versions server and confirm the distribution
*Automatically: As soon as a more recent version is on the Swyx versions server let it be distributed without further confirmation (Auto sync)
To release a version manually
