Uploading Firmware to Multiple ES7528 Switches
You can use this procedure if your ES7528 is connected to the host PC, laptop, or if the ES7528 resides on the
local network segment.
Note: Technical support does not advise uploading bootloader to multiple ES7528 switches. Remember that
uploading firmware reboots the ES7528, which depending on your network connections may cause
firmware uploading to fail on another ES7528.
1.
If the ES7528 is not displayed in PortVision DX, click the Scan
button.
2.
Select the Comtrol Ethernet attached product type and click the
Scan button.
3.
Shift-click the multiple ES7528 switches on the Main screen that
you want to update and use one of the following methods:
•
Click the Upload button.
•
Right-click and then click Advanced > Upload Firmware.
•
Click Advanced >Upload Firmware in the Manage menu.
4.
Browse, click the firmware (.bin) file, Open (Please locate the new firmware), and then click Yes (Upload
Firmware).
It may take a few minutes for the firmware to upload onto all of the ES7528 switches. The ES7528 reboots
itself during the upload process.
5.
Click Ok to the advisory message about waiting to use the device until the status reads ON-LINE.
In the next polling cycle, PortVision DX updates the Device List pane and displays the new firmware version.
