Installation

Upgrading from Avigilon Control Center 4

If you are upgrading to this version of the Avigilon FCWnx integration software, be aware
that this version of the integration is only compatible with Avigilon Control Center 5.

NOTE: To preserve all of your current integration settings, you must upgrade to Avigilon

Control Center 5 and make sure all servers in the Site can be accessed by the
integration. If a server is offline or inaccessible to the integration during the
upgrade, the integration settings for that server are lost.

It is recommended that you back up a copy of all the alarm mappings before you upgrade
the integration. For more information, see Backing Up Mapped Alarms on page 10.

NOTE: Avigilon Control Center 5 provides the ability to organize multiple servers into

Sites and share settings between servers. To use this feature effectively, you must
upgrade all servers in your Site before upgrading the integration or all of the
previous mappings may be lost.

When you upgrade the integration, the installer will shut down the integration Windows
service. After the upgrade is complete, click Update Service in the Configuration Tool to
restart the integration. To confirm that the integration has been configured correctly, see
Avigilon FCWnx Gateway on page 7.
