Upgrade Firmware Using a Terminal or Terminal Emulator

To upgrade firmware using a terminal or terminal emulator connected to the

serial port of the bridge, do the following:

1. From the

System Utilities menu, select the [Download a New Revision

of the Firmware]

option to start the download procedure.

2. When you confirm you want to download, the bridge will start the

download process.

3. Use the

[Transfer-> Send File] option in the terminal emulator

utility.

4. Select the location of the firmware. Use the

Browse button if you need

help finding it.

5. Make sure you select

[XMODEM] as the transfer protocol.

6. Press the

[Send] button.

7. The firmware will begin to download to the bridge.

When the download process is complete, the system verifies that the firmware

image was successfully written to the FLASH memory and then reboots the

bridge. Upon reboot, the bridge detects that there is a newly downloaded

firmware image and copies that image to the boot sector of the FLASH and

then boots with that image. At that point, the bridge is using the new firmware.
