Upgrading Firmware by Means of the Serial Port

11.While the GbE Interconnect Switch is in the download mode, change the baud rate of the HyperTerminal session to match the baud rate of the GbE Interconnect Switch shown in the display window. (The default is 115200, which is the fastest. If you need to change the baud rate of the GbE Interconnect Switch, refer to steps 5 through 9 for instructions.) To change the baud rate:

a.Disconnect the HyperTerminal session by selecting Call from the Interconnect Switch – HyperTerminal window menu, and then selecting Disconnect.

b.From the Interconnect Switch – HyperTerminal window menu, select File thenProperties.c.Click Configure.

d.Make the necessary changes to the baud rate and click OK.

e.After connecting HyperTerminal, a connection established message is displayed, as shown in Figure F-4.

IMPORTANT: If the following screen displays unusual characters, this indicates a mismatched baud rate configuration somewhere in the network. Check HyperTerminal to determine if the baud rate setting on the GbE Interconnect Switch console interface and the HyperTerminal are mismatched.
