Buttons:
Browse: Click the “Choose File” button to search for the Firmware filename.
NOTE: This page facilitates an update of the firmware controlling the switch. A Software
Upload will update the managed switch to the software image at the specified location.
After the software image is uploaded, a page announces that the firmware update is
initiated. After about a minute, the firmware is updated and the switch restarts.
While the firmware is being updated, Web access appears to be defunct. The
front LED flashes Green/Off with a frequency of 10 Hz while the firmware update is in
progress. Do not restart or power off the device at this time or the switch may fail to
function afterwards.
