Performing a Software Upgrade
Use the following procedure to upgrade the switch’s software through its serial (console) port:
1. In the Image File Download Configuration Menu, type x to access the X/Y/Z Modem Image File
Downloading Menu.
2. Type x, y or z to select the corresponding modem protocol.
Note: For information about these protocols, see the manual for your communications software.
3. Type c to select the console baud rate. The Baud Rate Setting Menu appears. The maximum baud
rate currently supported is 57,600 bps.
4. Select one of the options in the above screen to select the required baud rate, and confirm it by
typing y.
Note: The baud rate default for console management is 9600 bps; in most cases the default will
match the rate for the connected terminal. If you change the baud rate for the console port, the
screen will display garbled data unless the connected terminal is set to the same rate.
5. Type a to select the Destination Bank.
6. To download the image file, use any serial communications software such as Procomm Plus,
HyperTerminal, ZTerm, etc. For file transfer instructions, follow the instruction manual of the serial
communications software.
Note: The terminal on which the serial communications software is running must have the same
baud rate as switch’s console. The connection from the terminal to the switch console port must be
an RS232C straight-through cable.
7. Type d to download to the selected destination bank or b to download and reset.
8. After performing a successful download, type q to return to the previous menu.
