NOTES:
z
Performing the Activate function on the controller will cause the device
to reboot and as a result the upgrade file (in the temporary storage are) will
be erased. It is recommended, therefore, that you PREPARE all devices
first, after which the upgrade file will no longer be needed. Then perform the
Activate function on each device, commencing with the controller.
• The Activate function must be performed on the controller device first, such
that the new firmware is in control of upgrading the remaining devices.
• When performing Activate or Commit on the controller, the device will
reboot.
• This will cause temporary loss of the web interface, since this is provided by
the controller.
• Wait for 30 seconds to allow the device time to reboot, then refresh the
browser.
