running the same software version. If unchecked, reinitialization will not send the software package
if the node is already running the same version.
•Activate/Revert—Check this box to activate the uploaded software (if the software is a later than the
installed version) or revert to the uploaded software (if the software is earlier than the installed
version) as soon as the software file is uploaded. If unchecked, the software is not activated or
reverted after the upload, allowing you to initiate the functions later from the node view
Maintenance > Software tabs.
•Re-init Database—Check this box to send a new database to the node. (This is equivalent to the CTC
database restore operation.) If unchecked, the node database is not modified.
