is ACC-G2 application version
2.76.25.
2.
FirmwarePlatform (downloadable) Image
For example,
accg2-platform_ccp2.17.5_update_acc2.76.25.bin
contains a
complete ACC-G2 platform version 2.17.5 with ACC-G2 application version
2.76.25
3.
Firmware Platform SD-Card Image
For example,
accg2-platform_ccp2.17.5_sdcard.wic.gz
contains a complete
ACC-G2 platform version 2.17.5 with ACC-G2 application version 2.76.25

Updating Controller Application via Firmware Download
Note:
Current version of the controller’s platform and application are shown in the
Initialize System
dialog of SiPass integrated
If the controller is already running the latest platform version, update by using the
Image Download option in the
Initialize System
dialog of SiPass integrated to
download the firmware application image.
●
Subject to the network load, download is expected to take a few minutes.
●
During installation, the ACC application is expected to restart.
●
Downtime depends on the database size and fragmentation (can take a few
seconds to few minutes)
