Updating the Firmware
The serial server software contains a firmware update utility you can use to
access new features that may be added to the serial device server in the
future. It may be necessary to update the firmware to take advantage of
these new features.
You need to know either the IP address or hostname of your serial device
server before you run the NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility.
If you do not remember this information, you can obtain it using
NI Ethernet device configuration. Refer to Chapter 3,

The NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility cannot update the firmware while
any network connections are active. Close any open connections before you attempt a
firmware update. Hosts cannot connect to the serial device server while it is updating the
firmware.
Complete the following steps to run the NI Ethernet Device Firmware
Update utility.
