How do I upgrade the firmware on EtherWAN switches?
Answer:
To upgrade the firmware, a TFTP server is required. The firmware file for the switch is in a .TGZ or .IMG format. This is a compressed file; however, it should not be decompressed before updating the switch.
Note: If a Firewall is running on the PC that is running the TFTP server it may need to be temporarily disabled.
Upgrade firmware using web interface
- Copy the firmware file to the correct directory for your TFTP server. The correct directory depends on your TFTP server settings
