Recommendations
When preparing your system for the Active Upgrade process, also consider the following
recommendations:
•
Use static IP addresses for embedded Ethernet teams.
•
If your system is protected by Windows Firewall, enable the exception for Active Upgrade
Console as shown in "Configuring Windows Firewall for the Active Upgrade Process" on page
5-98.
If Windows Firewall is running, and the exception for Active Upgrade Console is not enabled,
communication between the Production Side and Upgrade Side might fail during the Active
Upgrade process.
•
Use caution when applying hotfixes from any source. Applying updates indiscriminately may
introduce serious problems to your NEC Express5800/ft series system.
