Question:
How will I know an update is available?
Answer: If you have automatic updates enabled, the system will alert you that an update file has
been downloaded to your box. If you do not have automatic updates enabled, you will have to
periodically visit Strike Center to check for new releases.
Question: I have automatic updates enabled. Does this install the update for me?
Answer:
No. Automatic updates will only download the update file. You will need to log into the
Control Center to install the update.
Question:
How do I get a Strike Center account?
Answer: Contact our support team at support-bps@ixiacom.com or call 1-818-595-2599.

from, and the N refers to the update file’s version.
Question:
Will ATI Updates update my existing Strike Lists with the latest Strikes?

Lists must be updated manually after applying any ATI upgrade.
