Overview

This document outlines the steps needed to update an existing Access It! Universal v1 system to a later version of Access It! Universal v1. The update process requires that a backup of the Access It! Universal databases be performed prior to any update.

After the update is performed, all SCP may be set as Uninstalled. This is done so that the dealer may install the SCPs one at a time allowing for a controlled system-wide reset.

The SCP panels will be disabled if there are any database changes or firmware updates between the starting and ending version of Access It! Universal v1!
