Software Compatibility Families

To have access to the full range of functionality in a Linn system, all components in the system must have firmware and software that is of the same Compatibility Family. 

To check the Compatibility Family and firmware version of a product in a system, run Linn Config, select the product, then select the ‘Updates’ tab.

This table shows system compatibility across Linn’s products.
