A.2 NetAXS™ Release 3.1.8 Upgrade Procedure

A.2.1 Planning the Upgrade

Because upgrading a loop takes some time, you will want to plan the upgrade to minimize its impact on the access control of your building. You should allow for approximately 20 minutes to upgrade one gateway panel, and 25 minutes for one downstream panel (switched to gateway mode). Depending upon your configuration, you may be able save time by starting multiple panel upgrades on your loop simultaneously.

A.2.2 Mixed Revision Loops

In a loop configuration, upgrade the gateway panel first. If you are running version

2.1.11or older on the downstream panels, you must upgrade your whole loop to release 3. Even if you are running version 2.2.21, we recommend that you upgrade your entire loop to release 3.

A gateway installed with release 3, however, can still communicate with downstream panels while they are running release 2. If you leave your downstream panels installed with an older version, all functionality will be available except access-level editing.
