Downloading Software
N o t e

Observe the following when downloading the OS software to the
Switch 2000:
–
filename.swi and filename.fdd must be in the same direc-
tory.
–
filename must be the same for both files (that is, the files must
be the .swi and .fdd file pair from the disk or from the self-
extracting j3100a.exe file.
For the above reasons, avoid placing the filename.swi and
filename.fdd in separate directories, and avoid renaming them.
The latest version of the Switch 2000 OS supports all Switch 2000 Modules
currently available. If you are installing more than one type of Switch 2000
module and/or if it is necessary to download a new version of the Switch 2000
OS, use the latest version available. To support the 10Base-FL Module, use OS
version A.02.01 or later. The Switch 2000 Ethernet and 100VG Modules operate
with any version of Switch 2000 OS software. For more on software compat-
ibility, see the readme.txt file included on the disk and in the compressed,
self-extracting j3100a.exe file from the electronic sources mentioned
above.
