The CD-ROM supplied with the hub has an agent upgrade utility on it
that can be used for upgrading the new version of agent software to
the PS Hub.
NOTE: You would only use this utility if a previous software upgrade
has failed and you are unable to communicate with your hubs using
the web interface or Quick Config Manager. At all other times you
should use the web interface or Quick Config Manager to upgrade
your hubs.
If you have any problems using the agent upgrade utility, refer to
“Solving Problems With the Agent Upgrade Utility” on page D-3
.
Using the
Upgrade Utility
The upgrade utility works from an MS-DOS prompt. It upgrades one
hub at a time.
Upgrading a hub may take up to 5 minutes.
To upgrade agent software to a hub:
1
Connect your PC’s serial (COM) port to the hub’s console port, using a
null modem cable.
2
If you are using Microsoft Windows, exit out of it so that you are at the
MS-DOS prompt.
This utility must be run from MS-DOS. It cannot be used from an
MS-DOS Window within Microsoft Windows.
3
At the MS-DOS prompt, change your directory to the drive that is your
CD-ROM drive.
