Using PortVision DX
Uploading Firmware to Multiple ES8510-XTE Switches
You can use this procedure if your ES8510-XTE is connected to the host PC, laptop, or if the ES8510-XTE
resides on the local network segment.
Note: Technical support does not advise uploading bootloader to multiple ES8510-XTE switches. Remember
that uploading firmware reboots the ES8510-XTE, which depending on your network connections may
cause firmware uploading to fail on another ES8510-XTE.
1. If the ES8510-XTE is not displayed in PortVision DX, click the
Scan button.
2. Select the Comtrol Ethernet attached product type and click the
Scan button.
3. Shift-click the multiple ES8510-XTE switches on the Main
screen that you want to update and use one of the following
methods:
• Click the Upload button.
• Right-click and then click Advanced > Upload Firmware.
• Click Advanced >Upload Firmware in the Manage menu.
4. Browse, click the firmware (.bin) file, Open (Please locate the new firmware), and then click Yes (Upload
Firmware).
It may take a few minutes for the firmware to upload onto all of the ES8510-XTE switches. The
ES8510-XTE reboots itself during the upload process.
5. Click Ok to the advisory message about waiting to use the device until the status reads ON-LINE.
