Step 6. In the .vdist File field, type the full path and name of the distribution file you downloaded, or
click
Browse to locate the proper directory and file name.
Note:
You can save the vdist files under different names, if you want. They do not need to have
a .vdist extension.
Step 7.
Click Upload Image to upload the software image to the Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager.
Note:
Even if you select an Access Controller in the System Components list in the left panel,
the upload will still be done to the Access Control Server.
When the upload is complete, the new software image appears in the Uploaded Software Versions
table in the row you selected.
Note:
The upload of a flash-AC version is relatively quick; the upload of a full (Access Control Server
or Integrated Access Manager) version takes somewhat longer. The cursor will change to include an
hourglass icon while the upload is in progress.
Updating a System Component from a Local Software Version
Once you have uploaded one or more software versions to your Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager, you can update any of your system components using one of those versions.
Step 1. In the System Components list, select the 700wl Series unit you want to update.
Step 2. Select the software version you want to use to update the selected unit.
Step 3. If you want to restart the selected unit immediately upon completion of the download, check
the
Restart using updated software when finished installing option.
If you do not check this option, you can restart the unit later using the Restart to Alternate
Software option.
Step 4. Click Update Now to start the download. Because a key was required to upload the software to
the Access Control Server, you do not need to enter a key to download to a system component.
Restarting Using the Alternate Version Software
Each 700wl Series system component maintains two versions of the system software, the Installed
Version, which is the version currently running on that component, and the Alternate Version, which is
typically the version of the software that was running on the system prior to the most recent software
upgrade.
The Software Setup tab under the Maintenance module displays the version numbers of both the
Installed and Alternate versions. From the Software Setup tab you can restart the Access Control Server or
an Access Controller using the alternate software version on that system. You might choose to do this in
the following situations:
• You downloaded a new software version, which automatically became the Alternate Version, and did
not elect to do an automatic restart
• You want to return to the previously-installed version of the software
