Upgrading firmware

You can upgrade the firmware for either the switch or the CO cables. The CO cables can be
upgraded individually or simultaneously. When an appliance upgrade is initiated, you will see a
progress bar. As long as an upgrade is in progress, you cannot initiate another.
For all CO cables, the Enable Auto-Upgrade check box allows you to enable an auto-upgrade for
CO cable firmware. You can override the auto-upgrade at any stage using the Load Firmware
button described in the next section.
