SmartPTT update process can be divided into the following steps:

1. Save configurations of SmartPTT Dispatcher and SmartPTT Radioserver. This step is not obligatory, because the system moves configurations automatically. But, to be 100% sure that your system configurations are safe, you can export and save them.
2. Uninstall current SmartPTT system.
3. Install the new version.
4. Apply the saved settings (if needed)

In most cases steps 1 and 4 can be missed.

 

Save SmartPTT settings

 

1. Saving configurations is not obligatory step and it is needed only to be prepared for unexpected problems with installation. This step is recommended for big and real working systems but it can be missed.
