Switch and ISB Upgrade Utility
The Switch and ISB Upgrade Utility is a stand-alone application that allows field engineers to
perform switch and ISB upgrades from a laptop connected to Avid ISIS through the management
port, and monitor the upgrade progress. This utility does not replace the current upgrade process.
Its primary function is for upgrading a switch or a pair of switches that is incompatible with an
existing stacked network. Insertion of these switches into the network before the upgrade could
disrupt or compromise the network’s operation.
The typical procedure for loading the firmware on switches consists of selecting them with the
Avid ISIS Management Console and initiating an automated upgrade. This process is very useful
when upgrading a new or very interoperable Avid ISIS switch stack, see
“Installing Software on
the Engines” on page 93 .
To start the utility, insert the Avid ISIS software USB into a laptop and double-click
AvidUtilityISISTool.msi located in the following location.
drive :
\AvidISISUtilities\ISIS 7000
For Instructions on using the utility, see “Avid ISIS Upgrade Utility” on page 166 .
