To perform a flash upgrade on the SmartView XPro:

Step 1 - Prepare your computers

Ensure that you have saved any important work on the connected computers. The SmartView XPro can be upgraded whilst attached to live systems but remember that the mouse connections will probably need to be reconstituted after the upgrade is finished (see sections 4.13 and 2.9). Where possible, mission critical servers should be switched off or disconnected before performing an upgrade.

Step 2 - Connect your computer to the SmartView XPro

Connect your computer's serial port (COM1 or COM2) to the SmartView XPro's serial port (see figure 2). You do not need to set the serial baud rate and protocol because the upgrade program will do this for you automatically (for reference, the RS232 baud rate used by the upgrade program is 19200 and the protocol is 8 bits, 1 stopbit and no parity).

Step 3 - Select flash upgrade mode using option switch 2 (labelled UPGRADE)

Move option switch 2 on the back of the SmartView XPro to the ON position (down).
