Specifications

Assignments
This table lists the device types of all the devices selected for the boot PROM upgrade. Select a device type to
display compatible boot PROM images in the right panel. If necessary, click the Refresh Images button to
perform a firmware discovery and update the list of boot PROM images. Then, in the right−panel, select an
image and use the Assign to: buttons to assign the image to the device type or to each entry that is a member
of that binary family. The image will appear in the Image Name column in the Assignments table. You must
assign an image to each device type.
NOTE: A device type group may include some devices that use the local mapped file transfer server for
firmware downloads, and some that use an alternate remote firmware download server. In that
case, the device type would have multiple entries in the Assignments table, one for each server.
When you select an entry that uses an alternate server, only firmware records associated with that
alternate server will be displayed in the Image list table (unless you select Show All Images.)
Family
The product family to which the device type belongs.
Device Type
The device's model number or hardware type.
Server ID
The firmware download server specified for the device type. All devices are initially configured to use
the mapped file transfer server (as configured in the Services for NetSight Server view of the Options
window) for firmware downloads. You can specify an alternate firmware download server, which
allows a remote device to use a server in its own local network. For more information see How to Set
Up Alternate Firmware Download Servers.
Image Name
The boot PROM image assigned to the device type.
