• Multiple Managers — If more than one copy of Manager is running it is possible for the
B5800 Branch Gateway system to request BIN files from a different Manager from the
one that started the upgrade process. Ensure that only one copy of Manager is running
when upgrading an B5800 Branch Gateway system.
• Other B5800 Branch Gateway applications — Upgrading the core software of the B5800
Branch Gateway control unit may require upgrades to associated software. Typically
B5800 Branch Gateway is compatible with the previous release of most B5800 Branch
Gateway applications, however for each B5800 Branch Gateway core software release
there may be exceptions. See the Technical Bulletin for the B5800 Branch Gateway core
software release for more information.
