Communication Manager provides a more robust system upgrade experience.

After a Communication Manager upgrades, the system:

• Reduces copy size from files size (which currently can approach 100MB) to something more granular (for example: block size) such that when remote upgrades are being performed over a bouncing network, much of the copying is done without retransmittal.

• Supports SCP and HTTPS protocols to provide secure file transfers.

• Views the progress of the upgrade file transfers and processes, specifically that the process is progressing and not hung. The progress is displayed in text-only format.
