The Distributed Client Application Loader service provides local CAL package storage and client upgrade services. During the Simphony enterprise upgrade, new CAL are added to the system for installation on the property devices. When using the DCAL service, deploy the new packages to the site’s DCAL service in advance of the upgrade. Once deployed, the Simphony clients can upgrade from the DCAL service instead of the enterprise – so Simphony clients can upgrade from this service instead of pulling the packages from the cloud. Only use this service when there are more than 2 Simphony devices on a property.
