Versions window
The Versions sub-category allows you to view version information for attached CO cables.
Clicking on the eID displays a window that allows you to upgrade the CO cable firmware and to
reset the CO cables if connected to a cascaded device.
Selecting the Enable Auto-Upgrade for all CO cable check boxes causes all subsequently
connected CO cables to have their firmware upgraded to what is available on the LCM8/LCM16
switch. This guarantees that CO cable firmware is compatible with LCM8/LCM16 switch
firmware.
When you select the Versions category, the OBWI will retrieve the firmware versions from the
selected switch. The CO Versions sub-category allows you to view and upgrade all of the CO
cables in the system.
On occasions when a cascaded switch is not recognized by the LCM8/LCM16 switch, it may be
necessary to reset the CO cable which connects the cascaded switch to the LCM8/LCM16 switch.
This can be done using the Reset CO cable button in the CO cable’s sub-category.
