When the Download Control dialog box appears, it lists the devices you
selected along with the version numbers of the software currently loaded on
each. Compare this version number with the version available for down-
loading. If the versions are the same, you need not proceed further. If the
“Download Version” is older than the “Current Version” you probably have an
outdated CD in your drive. Do not proceed; visit the HP Procurve web page
(http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve) or call your authorized HP representa-
tive to obtain the latest files. If the “Download Version” is newer than the
“Current Version” you can highlight the item(s) and proceed.

If you have to change the community names of the devices in order to
download the file to all of them simultaneously, click the

Community Name...

button. This opens the

Change SET_COMMUNITY_NAME dialog box. Enter the

new community name in the “SET_COMMUNITY_NAME” field and click the
OK button. Note, however, that if you selected more than one device, the
community name you enter must be valid for all of them.

Allows you to change the
Community Name of the devices for
