Upgrading Firmware Using a Serial Console

To upload a new FLASH file to the 2161DS Console Switch:
1. Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal) to the configuration port on the back panel of the 2161DS Console Switch using the supplied serial cable. The terminal should be set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control.
2. If the 2161DS Console Switch is not powered up, turn it on now. The Power indicator on the front of the unit will blink for 30 seconds while performing a self-test. Approximately 10 seconds after it stops blinking, press the ENTER key to access the main menu.
3. You will see the Terminal Applications menu with seven options. Select option 2, Firmware Management.
4. Select option 1, FLASH Download.
5. Type the IP address of your TFTP server and press the ENTER key.
6. Type the name of the appropriate languaged FLASH file and press the ENTER key.
7. Confirm the TFTP download by typing a y or yes and pressing the ENTER key.
8. The 2161DS Console Switch will verify that the file you downloaded is valid.
9. The 2161DS Console Switch will begin the FLASH upgrade process. On-screen indicators will display the upgrade progress. When the upload is complete, the 2161DS Console Switch will reset and upgrade the internal subsystems.
10. Once the upgrade is complete, a verification message will appear on screen.
