1.6.1Updating Multilink ML1200 Firmware

This section describes the process for upgrading firmware on a ML1200 Switch Module.

There are several ways of updating Firmware on a Multilink ML1200: Serial using the

Multilink ML1200’s Console port, tftp or through ftp.

1.6.2Selecting the Proper Version

The latest version of the firmware is available as a download from the GE Multilin web site.

To determine the version of firmware currently installed on your Switch, proceed as follows:

ZUsing the EnerVista web interface, log into the Switch using the procedure described earlier. The firmware version installed on the switch will appear on the lower left corner of the screen.
