Upgrading ATS software

NOTE

 The software installation process does not require the ATS to be

disconnected from the Unity Network IX or MC networks. Do not stop the

active monitoring of patients via the ATS. The software upgrade files remain

inactive on the target ATSs until you are ready to activate them. See Install

the software on the target ATSs on page B-7.

 To activate the software package files on a target ATS, you must use the

local Webmin service interface tool to activate the software. The ATS

automatically reboots and begins to run the updated software.

Rebooting an ATS stops active patient monitoring. You will need to plan for

and establish alternate patient monitoring while you are activating the

software upgrade files on the target ATSs. See Activate the software

packages on page B-8.
