Chapter 13. Software Management
Software management enables viewing of installed SW versions, and the
selecting and loading of new SW versions. A software rollback option is
available. Refer to:
• Software Version Control
• Software Management Screen.
Software Version Control
When a 9500 MXC Node or Terminal is shipped the software installed and the
version supplied on its installation CD should be the current release or the
immediately prior release,
as defined by its Major and Minor version numbers
only.
A version number incorporates major, minor and build numbers. For example in
the 3.1.65 release ‘3’ is the major, ‘1’ the minor, and ‘65’ is the build.
• Major: increments for major functionality changes or platform changes.
• Minor: increments for minor functionality changes.
• Build: automatically increments as part of the development check/fix process.
The customer is responsible for any decision to update 9500 MXC software to a
later version.
The first two numbers, major and minor, define the release version. It is this
combination that should be checked to confirm the expectation that at the time of
shipment the 9500 MXC Node/Terminal was loaded with the most recent or
immediately prior release version.
