Activating new firmware
The currently active firmware version becomes inactive once another firmware version is activated. All
numbered callouts in parenthesis refer to Figure 7-2.
The following procedures outline the steps for activating an inactive firmware version stored on the
Reader.
Prerequisites: You must have Software Management permissions.
The primary and secondary sides of the Reader are running normally.
The required firmware is uploaded to the Reader (see New firmware , page 238).
CAUTION:
Activating inactive factory firmware on a running system is not
recommended. The factory firmware may not be appropriate for
the specific application.
CAUTION: Redundant Reader
During firmware activation (typically less than 60 seconds) the
Reader will switch over to the other side to process and report
transactions, regardless of the position of the mode switch on the
SPM module. Ensure that the other side is running normally and
all lane controller links are functioning. The Reader will be unable
to process or report transactions if it is unable to switch over to
the other side.
CAUTION: Non-Redundant Reader
During firmware activation (typically less than 60 seconds), a non-
redundant Reader is unable to process or report transactions.
On the Primary side:
1. Save the current configuration file, (see Saving the Reader configuration, page 243).
2. From the Software Management page, identify the inactive firmware version to be activated in the
firmware version table ().
3. Click the corresponding Activate button () to activate the firmware. Click to acknowledge there will be
a delay before the firmware becomes active.
4. If necessary, restore the configuration file saved in step 1 (see Uploading a saved configuration, page
246).
