• VCEM can support future versions of Virtual Connect firmware in a compatibility mode.
This compatibility mode enables a new Virtual Connect firmware version to be used immediately
with a VCEM 6.2 or later installation. For example, if Virtual Connect released a later version
of its firmware, a VC Domain within a 3.0x VC Domain Group is upgraded to the later version
of the firmware while preserving the earlier level of functionality. The VC Domain Group will
operate at the firmware version with which it was created. A subsequent VCEM release would
support the new functionality.
