Firmware Upgrades
Overview
The VCPS supports upgradable firmware using binary firmware files
provided by APC either through the internet or on CD. Each of these files
contains protection mechanisms to ensure that the data contained in the file
is not corrupted before or during the transfer operation.
When new firmware is transmitted to the VCPS, the program code is
updated and new features become available.
This chapter describes how to transfer firmware files to VCPSs.
To transfer a firmware file to a VCPS, see Upgrading
Firmware.
To verify a file transfer, see Verifying upgrades and updates.
