Parameter
Description
Auto Self Upgrade
The ServSwitch includes an innovative feature
allowing the unit to upgrade itself over the
Internet. Simply click on the button labeled
“Upgrade to latest” and the unit will go to the
Internet and download the latest version of the
system firmware and then install it. If the unit
cannot access the Internet directly (perhaps
because of a Web proxy or other firewalls),
then a page will be shown that causes your
browser to download the required file. Save
this file to disk and then upload it as described
in Manual Upload below and on the next page.
If you have multiple units to upgrade, you may
choose the Get latest version button that will
not attempt to upgrade the unit directly, but
will instead fetch the required file. This file can
be uploaded to multiple units manually.
Upload New Firmware
Click on the Upload firmware button to upload
the firmware.
System Reboot
Click on the Reboot Myself button to restart
the ServSwitch.
Purchase Options
Use this option to customize your software.
Custom Certificate Upload
Select a custom certificate from the drop-
down menu, or click on the Browse button to
view available certificates. Click on the Upload
Certificate button to upload the selected certif-
icate.
Manual Upload
Enter the name of the firmware file that you just downloaded from the
ServSwitch Web site into the field provided in the Firmware upgrade screen (or
use the Browse button). Press “Upload Firmware” and wait until a successful
upload message is shown.
