Downloading Via the Serial Port

A serial download is the easiest method to upgrade the VH-8G switch software, requiring the least amount of equipment and configuration.

To download switch software via the serial port, do the following:

1.With the console port connected, reset the switch by powering the switch off and then on.

2.After the power-on hardware and software tests are complete, the system initialization screen displays the following message:.

(D)ownload System Image or (S)tart Application: [S]

3.Press “D” to download system firmware. The following message appears:

Select the Firmware Type to Download (1)Runtime (2)POST [1]:

4.Select “1” to download the management software. The following messages appear:

Your Selection: Runtime Code

Change Baud Rate to 115200 and Press <ENTER> to Download.

5.Change your baud rate to 115200 bps and press [Enter]. 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 messages are displayed:

XModem Download to DRAM buffer area 0x00200000: ...

SUCCESS !

Verifying image in DRAM download buffer 0x00200000... SUCCESS !

Update FlashROM Image at 0x02880000 ... SUCCESS ! (D)ownload another Image or (S)tart Application:

[S]s

Change Baud Rate to 19200 and Press <ENTER>.

6.Press “S” to start the user interface, change your baud rate to back to 19200 bps and press [Enter]. The user interface logon screen will then appear.
