60 Configuring & Monitoring the Switch ELS100-24TXM
Downloading Via the Serial Port
A serial download is the easiest method to upgrade the ELS100-24TXM
switch software, requiring the least amount of equipment and
configuration.
To download switch software via the serial port, do the following:
1. Select Download Software Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select Start XMODEM Download.
The following message prompt displays:
Software downloader is running.
Software downloader request: Please start XMODEM
transfer (9600, N, 1).(Please ignore any
characters that may appear on the next line).
3. Send the file using the XMODEM protocol from your computer
application (the procedure varies depending upon the application
used).
When the XMODEM procedure finishes, the following message
prompt displays:
Software download successfully completed XMODEM
download. Please wait while program flash is being
written. Software downloader is exiting after
successful download to flash. Please wait while
system initializes.
The system software will reinitialize and display the login prompt.
Downloading Via TFTP
To perform a TFTP download, you must first configure the
ELS100-24TXM switch. This consists of programming the switch with an
IP address, if this has not already been done, and entering the IP address
of the TFTP server and the name of the upgrade file. To program the
switch IP address, go to the System Configuration Menu which is
accessible from the Main Menu screen.
To download switch software via TFTP, do the following:
1. Select TFTP Server IP Address from the Download Software Menu.
2. Enter the TFTP server IP address and press [Enter].
3. Select TFTP File Name and enter the file name to be downloaded
from the TFTP server.
For a TFTP download, the path to the file must be in-
cluded in its name. For example, if the upgrade file
name is filename.bin and it resides in the directory /
usr/tftp on the TFTP server, then you must enter the
TFTP file name as: “/usr/tftp/filename.bin”.
