Installation Guide (J3192C, and J3193B) 1998-07

■ The switch update utility, named update.exe, and an update.txt

file containing instructions on how to use the update utility, plus other

information. (This is a PC-based utility that you can run from DOS or from

a DOS window to download the new switch software from a PC directory.

This utility requires an RS-232 serial connection to the Switch 2000.)

■ Two OS files:

filename.swi

filename.fdd

where filename will be the same for both files; for example:

Observe the following when downloading the OS software to the

Switch 2000:

– filename.swi and filename.fdd must be in the same

directory.

– filename must be the same for both files. (That is, the files

must be the .swi and .fdd file pair from the disk.)

For the above reasons, do not place the filename.swi and

filename.fdd in separate directories, and do not rename them.

Note

For the “B”-version of the Switch 2000 (HP J3100B) use only an OS version

file beginning with “B” (such as B_04_24.swi ). For the “A”-version of the

Switch 2000 (HP J3100A) use only an OS version file beginning with “A”

(such as A_03_24.swi).

Version 03.20 (“A” or “B”) or later of the OS for the Switch 2000 supports all

Switch 2000 modules and compatible transceivers available as of January

1, 1998. If you are installing more than one type of Switch 2000 module and/

or if you need to download a new version of the Switch 2000 OS, use the

latest version. The latest version is available electronically from Hewlett-

Packard. Refer to “Support is as close as the World Wide Web!” on page 20.

For more on software compatibility, see the relnotes.txt file included

on the disk shipped with your HP J3192C or HP J3193B transceiver.

B_04_24.swi OS for the “B” version of the Switch 2000 chassis

(HP J3100B

) and all Switch 2000 modules (such

as the HP J3191A 100Base-T Module) that

operate with version B.04.24 or earlier software.

B_04_24.fdd OS for the FDDI Module. (Necessary if an FDDI

Module is installed in the Switch 2000.)
