1.0 Introduction

The following steps explain how to replace a Borealis hub that's configured for NXT-MSC and Mercury controllers. A replacement hub will automatically be updated with the system database located in the Cloud and therefore, once updated you will not need to re-configure any hardware, access rights or cardholders... everything will function the same as with the previous hub.
