down list (Figure 5-28). The targeted control system
on which the firmware apply will take place must be
selected using the tree under Configuration (Figure
5-27).
The firmware package status, target control sys-
tem, name, version, last transfer date, language de-
scription, language type, and controller type will be
displayed for the selected control system if the firm-
ware was transferred from Site Manager only. Any
firmware not transferred using Site Manager will not
be recognized.
NOTE: Firmware Packages contain more than
one firmware version, and each will be listed in
the Firmware Version(s) text box.
The Backup Control System before Apply drop-
down will perform a backup of units in the Control
System before the firmware is applied if the option is
set to Yes. The default value will be No (Figure 5-
27).
If Downgrade Allowed (Figure 5-27) is set to
Yes, a warning message will be displayed alerting
that the unit(s) existing setpoints will be cleaned out
as a result of downgrading the firmware (Figure 5-
29). Click OK to proceed with the downgrade or
Cancel to stop.

Firmware Update Apply
When you are ready to execute the Firmware Ap-
ply activity, click Go. The Firmware Apply activity
will continue to run even if you navigate away from
the Schedule Manager page, as with every other ac-
tivity.
If the option for Cancel Apply If Battery Test
Failed (Figure 5-27) is set to Yes, a battery test will
be performed on all units prior to applying the firm-
ware. If any unit fails the battery test, the Firmware
Apply will automatically be cancelled, and the Activ-
ity Details report will be updated to show that the ap-
ply process was cancelled as a result of the battery test
failure of the applicable units.
When you are ready to initiate the Firmware Ap-
ply activity, click Go:

The Firmware Apply activity will connect to the
targeted Control System and validate the firmware
file on each controller of the control system. If any
firmware file fails validation, the firmware apply for
the target control system will fail and report the fail-
ure in the activity history.
5.3.2. Firmware Matching and
Activity History Role
• Firmware Apply will check the firmware versions of
each controller in the target control system to verify
that all controllers have the same version of the firm-
ware package version. If a firmware match is detect-
ed, the apply process will continue until completed.
• If there is not a complete match of firmware ver-
sions on all the units, the activity history will report
that the firmware transfer process should be repeat-
ed and recommend in the activity history to retry the
