Prior to upgrading your AMS Device Manager application, you should uninstall any
SNAP-ON applications on the AMS Device Manager station. You should also stop any
programs or processes that access AMS Device Manager Servers (see
Tab le 1 on
page 13). You do not need to remove most of the system interfaces, such as RS3,
PROVOX, Ovation, and others.
The DeltaV System Interface requires that you re-apply the interface after upgrading
AMS Device Manager. To do this, in the Network Configuration utility, display the
properties of the DeltaV System Interface, click OK, and then click Close.
After you have completed the upgrade, start the application and right-click each of
the network icons. Select Rebuild Hierarchy followed by Scan > New Devices.
If you are using the Alert Monitor feature, click the Alert Monitor button on the
AMS Device Manager toolbar to open the Alert List. Click the Station Monitoring
button in the toolbar and ensure that all the stations you need to monitor are
selected.
Install the latest version of the SNAP-ON applications that were removed prior to
upgrading; see
“Installing SNAP-ON applications” on page 58.
