UCMs for Rs232, Ethernet and USB are directly connected to the PC so can be upgraded this way. (Not the old UCM01s though)
UCMs for Cbus, KNX, Velbus etc as well as Slaves will be upgraded by another method - over the Bus in firmware 6 when it is available. It will apply to Flash-based modules

Being a little nervous of beta software ( the Comfigurator 3.2.9 version is listed as beta), can I install the 6.002 firmware using the two UCMs method and Comfigurator 3.2.8, or must Comfigurator 3.2.9 be used with 6.002?

You need 3.2.9. Although it is listed as beta it is only because another version 3.3.0 is expected as the release version
3.2.9 does not warn you to press F0 before doing the upgrade
If you look at the comfigurator version history you will find that 3.2.9 fixes bugs in 3.2.8 so it is more stable
It will not cause your security system to have false alarms or crash it

[color=\"#5500ff\"]Please note that when upgrading the UCM firmware 6 + directly using this procedure, it is important that if any error occurs during the upgrade, do NOT reset the UCM or remove power from the UCM as this will prevent the UCM firmware from being upgraded again. Just repeat the firmware upgrade. If the login does not work, waiit a minute or so for a time-out and try again.

If the firmware upgrade cannot be done even after the above, eg if the power was disconnected from the UCM or the UCM was reset, you will need another UCM to upgrade firmware using the old programming cable method
