Managing a DSR web server device
While not as powerful as the DSView 3 software, the DSR web server provides several
configuration options to tailor the DSR1024 switch to your specific application.
Upgrading DSRIQ modules
The DSRIQ Flash upgrade feature allows you to update DSRIQ modules with the latest firmware
available. This update can be performed using the DSR web server, DSView 3 software or the
OSCAR interface.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the DSR1024 switch performs a soft
reset, which terminates all DSRIQ module sessions. A target device experiencing a DSRIQ module
firmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will appear
normally when the Flash update is completed.
NOTE: Check
for firmware upgrade files.
NOTE: DSRIQ modules are automatically updated when the DSR1024 switch is updated. To update your
DSR1024 switch firmware, see Appendix A on page 53 or the DSView 3 Online Help.
DSRIQ modules may also be force upgraded should the need arise.
To force upgrade the DSRIQ module firmware using the DSR web server:
1. From the side navigation bar, select Appliance - Appliance Settings - Ports - IQ modules.
2. Select the IQ modules that you wish to upgrade and click the Upgrade button.
CAUTION:
®
Disconnecting a DSRIQ module during a firmware update or cycling power to the target device will
render the module inoperable and require the DSRIQ module to be returned to the factory for repair.
Rebooting the appliance
Periodically, such as after an upgrade, you may need to reboot the DSR1024 switch.
To reboot the DSR1024 switch remotely:
1. From the side navigation bar, select Appliance - Overview.
2. When the appliance overview window appears, click Reboot Appliance.
