Densité Upgrade Manager
Densité Upgrade Manager is an iControl utility allowing you to manage the firmware and software versions of individual cards without having to put entire Densité frames into operational Standby mode. Application Servers can hold several versions of Densité card firmware and software in memory and Densité Upgrade Manager allows you to effectively toggle among these versions. From time to time, new versions become available, and Densité Upgrade Manager allows you to upload these files to the Application Server.
IMPORTANT: System behavior |
The Densité Upgrade Manager included with any version of iControl (starting with version 5.00), supports all Densité card types, including those that do not yet exist. For example, if a brand new Densité card, ABC‑1234, is installed in a Densité frame visible to a version of iControl that is, at the time, three years-old (but still version 5.00 or greater), the ABC‑1234 card would be visible within Densité Upgrade Manager. |
Firmware and software is bundled into single upgrade packages. That is, a package contains one version of firmware for a given Densité card and one version of software. By upgrading a card with a given package, you are changing both the installed firmware and software to those versions of each within the upgrade package.
IMPORTANT: The version numbering of packages represents a system of incrementation belonging ONLY to the package and not to the respective version numbering of firmware and software. |
NOTE: Densité Upgrade Manager does not allow you to upgrade, downgrade, or roll back firmware separately from software. Changing an installed package necessarily implies changing the component firmware AND software to those versions of each embedded within the introduced package. |
