3.5 Software Updates

Symbol periodically releases new versions of the software that runs on the switch. These software
releases provide new features and functionality. To upgrade the switch to incorporate these changes,
use the Software Upgrade page (System Admin. > Tools > Software Upgrade).
Enter the IP address of the TFTP file server where upgrades are located, and the name of the software
image file. Click Apply to upgrade the software in the switch.
The software upgrade overwrites the previous version of the
runtime image in the switch.

3.6 Rebooting the Switch

To reboot the switch, use the System Reboot page (System Admin. > Tools > System Reboot). The
switch provides three reboot options:
• Normal: Upon reboot, the switch returns to the configuration saved in Flash memory.
• Factory Default: Upon reboot, the system returns to the factory default configuration.
• Factory Default Except IP: Upon reboot, the system returns to the factory default
configuration, but retains the IP address assigned for this network.
Click Apply to reboot the switch.

3.7 Using DHCP to Load Configurations

Although DHCP service is used primarily to set IP addresses, netmasks, and default gateways for
DHCP clients, the DHCP standard also provides for vendor defined options to be downloaded to the
DHCP clients. The ES3000 can make use of this capability.
