Keep one WorkStation at version 1.8.1.34000 , 1.9, or 2.0 in case you need to make configuration changes to EcoStruxure BMS servers running 1.8.x, or 1.9.x or 2.0 if you need to perform LonWorks configuration preparations or repair locally on a SmartX server before version 3.0 upgrade.
Upgrade SmartX servers
The following flowchart shows the tasks for upgrading SmartX servers. Related information can be found in the sections after the flowchart.
Install certificates to establish a trusted chain between the computer running Device Administrator and the Smart X servers. This increases the security of your system and must be use if you have licensed features on the SmartX servers.
For more information, see Device Administrator Certificate Workflow .
For more information, see Device Administrator Licenses .
Use the upgraded Device Administrator to upgrade the databases of the SmartX servers using the IP network or USB port. For more information, see Uploading and Upgrading a SmartX Server .
Open the Device Administrator upgrade log to get detailed information about the SmartX server upgrade process. For more information, see Opening the Upgrade Log .
