Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
Upgrading Firmware
IMPORTANT: The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer.
TFTP server software is included as part of the utilities package.
To upgrade the GbE Interconnect Switch firmware:
1. Select Upgrade Firmware from the TFTP Services menu. The following screen is
displayed.
The Upgrade Firmware from TFTP Server window allows you to update the path of a
new firmware file on the TFTP server.
2. Type the IP address of the TFTP Server in the TFTP Server IP Address field.
3. Type the TFTP server port number in the TFTP Server Port Number field.
4. Type the file name of the firmware file for the GbE Interconnect Switch in the File Name
field.
5. Click Apply to save the TFTP server IP address, TFTP server port number, and file name
into the GbE Interconnect Switch RAM.
6. Click Start to initiate the file transfer. The system automatically reboots after the file
transfer is completed.
NOTE: A downloadable smart component, which further simplifies upgrading the GbE Interconnect
Switch firmware, is available at the following website:

Downloading a Configuration File from a TFTP Server
IMPORTANT: Configuration files used in the earlier version of the GbE Interconnect Switch (firmware
version 1.0) are not supported by the present version (firmware version 2.0). The GbE Interconnect
Switch Information window displays the firmware version.
A configuration file can be downloaded from a TFTP server to the switch module. This file is
then used by the switch module to configure itself. Beginning in firmware version 2.0.0,
switch firmware configuration files are specified in XML format.
Downloaded XML configuration files do not need to specify every possible parameter. Only
the configuration parameters specified will be modified; others will remain unchanged.
