See Activating Software to activate the newly downloaded software.

Activating Software

Once a software upgrade is downloaded to the Alternate Release location, it needs to be activated. When activated, the unit resets and then moves the downloaded software to the Current Firmware location. With this feature, you control when the upgrade software is implemented.

Procedure

To switch to the new software:

1. Go to the Control menu and locate Select Software Release:

Main Menu Control Select Software Release

The currently→loaded →software version and the new transferred software release are shown.

If the download failed, Invalid appears in the Alternate Release field instead of the new release number. Repeat the procedure in Upgrading System Software on page 7-46if this occurs.

2. Select Switch&Reset.

3. Enter Yes to the Are you sure? prompt. The unit resets and begins installing the newly transferred software.

4. Verify that the new software release was successfully installed as the Current Software Revision.
