A.1 Planning the Upgrade
Because upgrading a loop takes some time, you will want to plan the upgrade to
minimize its impact on the access control of your building. You should allow for
approximately 20 minutes to upgrade one gateway panel, and 25 minutes for one
downstream panel (switched to gateway mode). Depending upon your configuration,
you may be able save time by starting multiple panel upgrades on your loop

• download data to all panels later--for activation either manually or
• cancel an automatically deferred download
• cancel a deferred download altogether
