Check-update traffic

For release 6.1.8.90 or earlier, the desktop app makes a Check Update request (99=CU) and receives a response that is about 564 bytes.

For release 7.0.0.1 and later, the ASP code base is replaced with ASP.Net.

If check update indicates that there is an update pending, a Get Update (GU) call follows. For example, when an operator changes the desktop app settings in the management system, the desktop app receives a response at the next check update that indicates a get update is needed.

The desktop app then makes a GU request after the Check Update, and receives the settings as XML in the response. The desktop app saves the settings in an XML file in the user’s
