Parameter Description
Browse: Click the “Browse...” button to search the firmware URL and filename.
Upload: Click the “Upload” button. The switch will start to upload the firmware from files stored locally or on the server.
NOTE: This page facilitates an update of the firmware controlling the switch. Uploading software will update all managed
switches to the location of a software image and click. After the software image is uploaded, a page announces that the
firmware update is initiated. After about a minute, the firmware is updated and all managed switches restart. Then the managed
switch restarts.
WARNING: While the firmware is being updated, Web access appears to be defunct. The front LED flashes Green/Off with a
frequency of 10 Hz while the firmware update is in progress. Do not restart or power off the device at this time or the switch may
fail to function afterwards.
