Upgrade from Pulse to IC-EDGE

This article is under construction!

This article describes how to upgrade from a Pulse system to an IC-EDGE System.

Firmware versions

Whether a device is operating in Pulse mode or in Edge mode, depends on the firmware version on the device.
Firmware for Pulse:

• In a Pulse system the Turbine devices are running firmware 3.x or 4.x.
• In a Pulse system the INCA devices are running firmware 2.9 or earlier.

Firmware for IC-EDGE System:

• In an IC-EDGE system all Turbine devices are running firmware 5.x.
• In an IC-EDGE system all INCA devices are running firmware 2.10 or newer.

You cannot mix devices running Pulse and Edge firmware in the same system

Prerequisites

• In an IC-EDGE System, INCA stations cannot be used as the Edge Controller. The Edge Controller must be a Turbine device. If the current Pulse Server is an INCA station, you must select a different device (Turbine) as the Edge Controller.
• TCIV video intercoms should not be used as the Edge Controller for systems exceeding 4 devices.
• VS-IMT can be used for station discovery and upgrade, but should not be used to configure Edge.

Licenses

Pulse licenses will be honored in an IC-EGDE System. When upgrading a Pulse Server to version 5.x, any licenses installed on the original Pulse Server will still be valid.
More information regarding licensing in Edge can be found here.
