• Any configurations performed after the upgrade will be lost after the Revert. Once the revert completes, the configuration rolls back to the time stamp in the 'Last Used' field.
  
• Once a revert is performed to a valid pre-56.0 SBC release, an upgrade to another pre-56.0 release is not supported. Upgrading to any other pre-56.0 releases requires the ConnexIP re-ISO installation.
