Upgrading a Firmware Image Using HTTP
Before downloading a new version of the AT-S79 management software
onto the switch with HTTP, note the following:
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S79
software image is installed. To return a switch to its default
configuration values, refer to “Returning the AT-S79 Management
Software to the Factory Default Values” on page 53.
ˆ On the switch that you are downloading the new image file to, assign
an IP address and subnet mask. For instructions on how to set the IP
address on a switch, refer to “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway Address” on page 34 or “Enabling and Disabling
the DHCP Client” on page 37.
Caution
Downloading a new version of management software onto the
switch causes the device to reset. Some network traffic may be lost
during the reset process.
This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the software and
have stored it on the computer from which you will be performing this
procedure.
To download the AT-S79 image software onto the switch using HTTP,
perform the following procedure:
1. From the Tools folder, select the Firmware Upgrade folder.
2. From the Firmware Upgrade folder, select via HTTP.
