Figure 3-3 Flash Tab
Refer to Figure 3-3. The Flash tab enables you to load new control code into the
Switch’s Flash memory and also to command the Switch to perform a Reset
operation.
In order to load new Flash Code, you must first connect the switch directly
to the PC used as a management Station using a “Cross-Over” Cable.
In the event that your Flash memory requires an update, Ancor Communications
will supply you with a binary Flash update file. This file may be available on a
floppy, CD-ROM, or it may be available over the Internet. In any case, load this
file on the PC (the one connected to the Switch’s Ethernet port) and select the
Flash tab in the Switch Utilities.
You may load new Flash code to the Switch’s Flash memory while the Switch is
operating under the old Flash code. The Switch will not use the new Flash code
until it is Reset. The Switch will Reset when you command a Reset operation
from the Switch Utilities Flash tab or you cycle the Power on the Switch.
