to fix or improve the function. The switch provides a TFTP client for software
upgrade. This can be done through Ethernet.

Firmware Upgrade

Function description:

The switch supports TFTP upgrade tool for upgrading software. If you assure
to upgrade software to a newer version one, you must follow two procedures:

1.) Specifying the IP address where TFTP server locates. In this field, the IP

address of your TFTP server should be filled in.

2.) Specifying what the filename and where the file is. You must specify full path

and filename.

Once you press <Upgrade> button, the switch will start to download the

software from TFTP server.

message will be prompted after completing upgrading software. At this time, you
must reboot the switch to have new software worked.
