Firmware update if a fault occurs
If an error occurs when updating the firmware or if an IE Switch X200 was updated with
incompatible firmware, it is possible that the firmware of the device will not start correctly.
In this case, the boot loader is active after the device has started up. This status is signaled
by a flashing fault LED.
The boot loader can also be activated when the device is turned on by holding down the SET
button until the fault LEDs starts to flash.
Note
If the boot loader is active, only port 1 is active. For this reason, the X-200 must be
connected to the FTP client via port 1.
Procedure
To load new firmware on the X-200 IE switch, follow the steps below with the boot loader
activated:
1. Assign an IP address to the device. You can do this with the PST tool.
Once you have assigned the IP address, you can communicate with the FTP server
integrated in the boot loader.
2. Send a firmware file to the X-200 IE switch using FTP. You can use any FTP client to do
this.
Use the following connection settings for FTP access:
– User name: siemens
– Password: siemens
– Transmission mode: Binary
Once it receives the file, the device updates the firmware and restarts automatically.
