Once the status bar has progressed fully from left to right, the firmware loader utility resets the switcher (figure 5-8).

If the firmware loader utility exits before the status bar has progressed completely across the indicator window, try using a control cable with only pins 2, 3, and 5 connected. If necessary, modify the cable by removing pins or cutting wires.

The firmware loader utility increases the serial port’s baud rate to 115,200 to speed up the upload process. Occasionally, the firmware loader may be unable to return the serial port to its earlier baud rate, in which case communications with the switcher may not be possible. If you are no longer able to communicate with the switcher after the firmware upload completes, see “Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and baud rate” in chapter 3, “Operation”, on page 3-37.
