Installation and Use

and should be downloaded to the same directory on your PC. Run the file
AVGxxx.EXE (e.g. AVG129.EXE) and follow the on-screen instructions. During the
upgrade the display will show an upper case U and the dot will flash to show that the
upgrade is in progress.
The display will again show a lower case U when the download is complete. Move
option switch 7 to the OFF position to exit upgrade mode and start normal operation.
You may check the new firmware version by entering configure mode and using the
firmware version query function.
Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the CPU Switch Smart's firmware code. If the
upgrade process is interrupted then the CPU Switch Smart will have invalid code
and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the
upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be
rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted
accidentally then you should immediately repeat the upgrade process without
moving switch 7 from the flash upgrade (ON) position. Switch 7 forces the CPU
Switch Smart into flash upgrade mode and prevents the upgraded code from being
run. Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and
may damage your CPU Switch Smart or computing equipment. For obvious
reasons, the code that the CPU Switch Smart uses to perform upgrades is not itself
upgradeable - a common problem on some flash upgradeable products that could
effectively be destroyed by a partial upgrade!
WARNING - Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable
results and may damage your CPU Switch Smart or computing equipment.
