Changing Software

9820-A2-GB20-20
To see whether a download has completed, check the Identity screen.
Main Menu Status
Check Alternate Software Rev. under the NAM Identity column.
If a software revision number appears, the file transfer is complete.
If In Progress appears, the file is still being transferred.
If Invalid appears, no download has occurred or the download was not
successful.
Once a software upgrade is downloaded, it needs to be activated. When
activated, the unit resets, then executes the downloaded software. With this
feature, you control when the upgrade software is implemented.
Procedure
To switch to the new software:
1. Go to the Control menu, and select Select Software Release.
Main Menu Control
The currently loaded software version and the new release that was just
transferred are shown.
If the download failed, Invalid appears in the Alternate Release field
instead of the new release number. Repeat the procedure in
System Software if this occurs.
2. Select Switch&Reset.
3. Enter Yes to the Are you sure? prompt. The unit resets and begins
installing the newly transferred software.
4. Verify that the new software release was successfully installed as the Current
Software Revision.
