Upgrading a Firmware Image Using HTTP
This section describes how to upgrade an firmware image of the AT-S101
software using HTTP on an Internet server. Before downloading a new
version of the AT-S101 Management Software onto the switch with HTTP,
note the following:
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S101
software image is installed. To return a switch to its default
configuration values, see “Returning the AT-S101 Management
Software to the Factory Default Values” on page 44.
ˆ On the switch that you are downloading the new image file to, assign
an IP address and subnet mask. For instructions on how to set the IP
address and subnetmask on a switch, see “Configuring an IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway Address” on page 22. To disable a DHCP
client, see “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on page 27.
Caution
Downloading a new version of management software onto the
switch causes the device to reset. Some network traffic may be lost
during the reset process.
This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the software and
have stored it on the computer from which you will be performing this
procedure.
To download the AT-S101 image software onto the switch using HTTP,
perform the following procedure:
1. From the menu on the left side of the home page, select the Tools
folder.
This folder expands to show the contents of the Firmware Upgrade
folder.
2. From the Firmware Upgrade folder, select via HTTP.
