sion of the controller’s platform and application are shown in the

In case it is required to control the timing of the downtime caused by the
platform installation process, automatic platform update can be disabled by
sending the following command via the ACC console:
platform autoUpgrade 0
–
An audit trail message will be displayed to indicate that Auto-Upgrade has
been disabled.
Note: If the ACC is reset before platform image has been completely
downloaded to the ACC, the Auto-Upgrade feature will be enabled again.

To re-enable automatic update, use the command:
platform autoUpgrade 1

Make a note of current platform major version.

For example,
ACC-G2\System_Update\From_Platform_v2

running the latest application capable of receiving and installing the platform
update image.

Use the Image Download option in the
Initialize System
dialog of SiPass
integrated to download firmware image(s).
