If a newer version of Director firmware is available, it should be installed at this time. See
“Upgrading Director firmware” on page 76 for the procedure.
Ready to configure
At this time, the basic installation of the FICON Director and the EFC Server are finished. If
you want to access the EFC Server via a separate workstation, then the EFC Manager client
has to be installed with the same version level as the EFC Server version level (see “Installing
