8. Click the Upload button. A status bar, which shows the progress of the upload, appears in the Firmware Loader window (figure 5-9). The firmware upload to the switcher may take several minutes.

NIf 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.

10. Click the Exit button to exit the firmware loader utility.

NThe 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 3-38.
