Firmware version, part number & information requests
Query firmware version number Q or 1Q Q or 1Q
X11
Show the switcher’s firmware version (
X11
)
to two decimal places. This query yields the number of the currently running version of the user-updatable firmware.
Example: 1Q 1Q 1.01
Query verbose version information 0Q 0Q
{response from 2Q}–{response from 3Q}–{response from 4Q}
Show the bootstrap, factory-installed, and updated firmware versions. See 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q below.
Example: 0Q 0Q 0.04-1.00(0.32-System5IP -Wed, 16 Jan 2003 01:54:56 GMT)-1.01*(0.32-System5

Query bootstrap firmware version 2Q 2Q
X11
The bootstrap firmware is not user-
replaceable, but you may need this information during troubleshooting.
Example: 2Q 2Q 0.04
Query factory firmware version 3Q 3Q
X11
(kernel version–model description–date time of upload)
Factory-installed firmware is not user- replaceable. This firmware was installed at the factory; it is the version to which the switcher reverts after a mode 1 reset (see ch. 2).
Example: 3Q 3Q 1.00(0.31-System5IP -Wed, 16 Jan 2003 01:54:56 GMT)
In this example the factory firmware version is 1.00, a.k.a. kernel version 0.31, for the System 5 IP, dated 16 January 2003.
Query updated firmware version 4Q 4Q
X11
(kernel version–model description–date time)
Use this command to find out which version of the firmware, if any was uploaded into the switcher after it left the factory.
Example: 4Q 4Q 1.01*(0.32-System5IP -Mon, 15 Dec 2003 20:22:43 GMT)
In this example the current firmware version is 1.01, a.k.a. kernel version 0.32, for the System 5 IP, dated 15 December, 2003.
In a query response, an asterisk (*) after the version number indicates the version that is currently used. A question mark (? or ?.??) indicates that the factory default firmware is the only firmware loaded in the switcher. A carat (^) indicates the version of firmware that should be running, but, since a mode 1 reset was performed, the factory default firmware version is loaded and running instead. An exclamation point (!) indicates that the firmware is corrupted.
