11.1 Introduction
11.1.1 GYDA-SC Upgrade
Multicon GYDA automatically detect all modules that are part of the Flashlink sub-system (con-
sisting of up to 8 frames). As the product range is expanded with additional modules, a new
release of the Multicon GYDA software is made in order to detect and monitor the new modules.
All new modules in the Flashlink range released after 2010-01-01 will require the new Multicon
GYDA element manager for Web/SNMP monitoring and control capabilities. For modules relased
prior to this date the previous GYDA-SC product may still be used.
To support new modules for existing installations with GYDA-SC, an upgrade of GYDA-SC to
Multicon GYDA is required for the Flashlink systems where the new modules are installed. Two
different hardware revisions exist for the GYDA-SC module:
• All GYDA-SC HW revision 2 modules may be software upgraded to Multicon GYDA.
• All GYDA-SC HW revision 1 modules must be exchanged with a new Multicon GYDA
module.
To identify which hardware version that you have you may check the CONFIG tab in the GYDA-SC
user interface. See figure below.

Note: Note that GYDA-SC and Multicon GYDA can co-exist in a network,
but it is necessary to upgrade if new Flashlink cards shall be used in a sub-
system.
