Caution: Applying a software update to the BCM50 is a service-affecting
operation. Nortel recommends that you schedule updates for low-traffic hours.
Caution: If a software update has a checkmark applied against it in the Reboot
Req’d column of the Find Software Updates window, the BCM50 automatically
restarts as soon as the update is applied. You do not receive a reboot confirmation
before the reboot occurs.
Note: The Select dialog displays directories only and does not show the contents
of the directories.
Note: If the information in the Find Software Updates window indicates that
you are applying an upgrade rather than an update, you will need to generate a
keycode before proceeding.
