A.1 Upgrading the ServSelect IP
The ServSelect
®
IP FLASH upgrade feature allows you to upgrade your unit with the
latest firmware available. To perform this update you will need a TFTP server. There are
several free TFTP servers that you can download off the internet.
Next, you will need to download the latest FLASH firmware from BLACK BOX
®
.
Contact BLACK BOX technical support and follow their directions for downloading the
firmware. Save the FLASH upgrade file to the appropriate directory on your TFTP server.
Once this is complete, the following steps will upload the new FLASH file to the
ServSelect IP.
To upload a new FLASH file:
1. Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as
HyperTerminal) to the configuration port on the back panel of the ServSelect IP.
The terminal should be set to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no
flow control.
2. Connect the LAN port on the ServSelect IP to an Ethernet hub that is also
connected to the PC being used as the TFTP server.
3. Launch both the server software and the terminal emulation software.
4. Verify that the ServSelect IP is turned on. After approximately 40 seconds, the
ServSelect IP will send out a message,
