3 Migrating from a previous release

3.1 Verification

Upgrading from previous MP1.0 (R1.01) and MP1.1 (R1.31) to MP2.1 is possible as

long as you ensure the following:

- The architecture includes a max. of 50 NK8223 units;

- A new host DMS system (MM8000 or MK8000+OPC client) is used in place of

previous LMSmodular;

- The new DMS is connected over LAN and not over serial line;

- No serial line is used on NK8823 for local host connections;

- The control units (subsystems) connected to NK8223 are supported in the soft-

ware of new DMS.

3.2 Upgrading procedures

The upgrade procedure list includes:

1. Using NW8201, taking detailed notes of the existing NK8223 configuration.

2. Updating central software, from LMSmodular to MM8000 (not discussed here).

3. Re-entering NK8223 configuration with Composer.

4. Updating NK8223 configuration and firmware with NW8204.

5. Reset the NK8223 unit using NW8201 monitor command

6. Downloading new configuration from Composer.

3.2.1 Taking notes of NK8223 configuration

CDI-WAN configurations made with NW8201 are not compatible with the new version

and must be reintroduced in Composer. Therefore, it is necessary to take notes of the

old configuration so you can re-enter it later in the new tool.

Please use the checklist table on next page as a form for each of the NK8223s.

Note: Photocopy the page as many times as required and then fill-in the forms.
