Software loading failure
If software loading fails, the system runs previous software version. To troubleshoot the software loading
failure:
• Verify that the physical ports are correctly connected. If the cable of any port is not connected,
re-connect the cable to the port, and make sure the physical connection is correct. Load the software
again.
• Check for errors in the software loading process displayed on the HyperTerminal. If errors exist,
correct them, and load the software again.
