SERVSWITCH™ SUMMIT
18. Click on “Send to Summit” to begin uploading the new firmware to the Base
Unit. Both the PC and the Base Unit need to remain powered on during the
transfer, and you should be careful not to disconnect the cable between them.
(If either device loses power or the cable comes loose, this will not cause the
Base Unit to run with incomplete firmware or any other serious problems, but
you will have to restart the upload process from scratch.)
This upload typically takes about thirty seconds. Once the Base Unit
successfully finishes receiving the new firmware, it should reset itself
automatically; watch for the LEDs to cycle in the same way that they would
when the Base Unit is powered off and back on again. (If the automatic reset
doesn’t occur, you can manually reset the Base Unit by cycling power to it—
no data loss will occur. If you do so, check the firmware version that the Base
Unit reports when you click on “Check Device Information” again. If the Base
Unit is still reporting the version it was running previously, the upload wasn’t
successful and you’ll have to start it again.)
19. When the upload is finished, click on “Disable Port” and exit the Update
Utility. (Do this even if you’re planning on upgrading more Base Units later.)
20. Disconnect the serial cable from the Base Unit’s administration port.
21. Repeat steps 12 through 20 for each Base Unit whose firmware you want to
upgrade.
