Displaying version information and upgrading firmware

For troubleshooting and support, the OSCAR interface enables you to display the version number of the
switch firmware and any auxiliary devices connected to the switch, as well as upgrade your firmware for
optimum performance.
To display version information and upgrade firmware:
1. Activate the OSCAR interface and click Commands - Display Versions. The top half of the box lists the
subsystem version in the switch. The lower half displays the current IP address, Mask, MAC, and EID.
2. If you want to upgrade the firmware, click Upgrade and then click OK to open the download box. You will
be prompted for an FTP or TFTP device IP address and the related information.
3. Click Download. After the firmware is downloaded, the Upgrade dialog box will appear.
4. Click the Upgrade button.
NOTE: The switch will reboot when the upgrade is complete.

4. Click OK to initiate the upgrade and return to the Status dialog box.
NOTE: During an upgrade, the IQ module status indicator in the Main dialog box is yellow. The IQ modules
are unavailable when an upgrade is in progress. When an upgrade is initiated, any current connection to the
device using the IQ module is terminated.
To simultaneously upgrade multiple IQ modules:
1. Activate the OSCAR interface, click Commands - IQ Status and click one or more types of IQ modules
to upgrade.
2. Click Upgrade.
NOTE: When the Enable IQ Auto update option is enabled in the IQ Status dialog box, IQ module firmware
is automatically upgraded when the switch firmware is upgraded or when a new IQ module is discovered by
the switch after a firmware upgrade. IQ modules that have already been discovered but which are not
attached to the switch during the firmware upgrade must be upgraded manually.
