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

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.
