Firmware Upgrade
The application software for the GS700TR Gigabit Smart Switch is upgradeable, enabling your
switch to take advantage of improvements and additional features as they become available. The
upgrade procedure and the required equipment are described below. This procedure assumes that
you have downloaded or otherwise obtained the firmware upgrade and that you have it available as
a binary file on your computer. This procedure uses the TFTP protocol to implement the transfer
from computer to switch.
To upgrade your firmware:
1. Click Firmware Upgrade from the main screen (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3), after you have
selected the switch to upgrade. The following screen appears:

Note: You can also upgrade the firmware using the TFTP Download and HTTP
Download features mentioned in this book. See
“Download File To Switch
(TFTP)” on page 8-5.
