Upgrading the MergePoint Unity switch firmware
You can update your MergePoint Unity switch with the latest firmware available.
NOTE: The preferred method for updating the firmware is to use the DSView software. See the DSView Installer/User Guide for
detailed instructions.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the MergePoint Unity switch performs a soft reset,
which terminates all IQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an IQ module firmware update may not
display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will appear normally when the Flash update is
completed.
CAUTION: Disconnecting an IQ module during a firmware update or cycling power to the target device will render the module
inoperable and require the IQ module to be returned to the factory for repair.
