    Upgrade software only when necessary and under the guidance of a technical support engineer. Normally, the software of 4210 Ethernet Switch is upgraded via serial port. However, this method is rather slow and very time-consuming. In addition, in this method, users either have to upgrade the switches at the installation sites or gather all the switches to upgrade one by one, whichever will consume enormous manpower.
