Main Firmware Upgrade
In addition to upgrading the KN1108v / KN1116v main firmware, this function can also be used to upgrade any PON units and Blade Servers deployed on the installation. As new versions of the firmware become available, they can be downloaded from our website. Check the website regularly to find the latest information and packages.
To upgrade the main firmware, do the following:
1.Download the new firmware file (switch, PON or blade server module), to your computer.
2.Log in to the KN1108v / KN1116v; and click the Maintenance tab. The Maintenance tab opens to the Upgrade Main Firmware page:
3.Click Browse; navigate to the directory that the new firmware file is in and select the file.
4.Click Upgrade Firmware to start the upgrade procedure.
If you enabled Check Main Firmware Version the current firmware level is compared with that of the upgrade file. If the current version is equal to or higher than the upgrade version, a popup message appears, to inform you of the situation and stops the upgrade procedure.
If you didn't enable Check Main Firmware Version, the upgrade file is installed without checking what its level is.
As the upgrade proceeds, progress information is shown in the Progress bar.
Once the upgrade completes successfully, the switch resets itself.
5.Log in again, and check the firmware version to be sure it is the new one.
Note: To recover from a “failed upgrade” situation, see Firmware Upgrade Recovery, page 186.
