This means that base stations or media resources with firmware version older than PCS06A_ will not connect to a KWS running firmware PCS06A_ or newer. To minimize downtime update base stations, media resources and KWS6000 to firmware PCS06A_ before rebooting any of them. This will ensure that no pre-PCS06A_ firmware will try to connect to a PCS06A_ or newer firmware. 1. 3 Feature License and Platform Limitations None 1. 4 System Requirements Hardware Platform KIRK Base Station 12 HW PCS 10 or newer Description KIRK IP Base Station 12 2.
