Updating the Firmware
You can update the firmware of the switch. The application code of the switch
resides in FLASH, and therefore can be quickly and easily updated. The port
communication settings are automatically configured to allow direct
downloading from the connected computer.
To update the firmware you need the following:
■
Computer running MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95/98
■
Available serial communications port on the computer
■
Standard serial cable (DB9-male) that connects between the switch and
the PC computer
