Migrating AlarmWorX64 MMX to GENESIS Version 11

In the version 11 release, AlarmWorX™64 MMX has been removed from GENESIS.

If you use AlarmWorX64 MMX and plan to upgrade to GENESIS version 11 or later, you need to migrate AlarmWorX64 MMX to Connected Field Service, Alert Notifications, or Bridging. This guide will help you through the migration process.
