Upgrade the Switch
Firmware
You must have access to the Internet to download switch firmware from
http://www.rockwellautomation.com
to your computer or network drive.
Use the Device Manager Firmware Upgrade dialog box to update the switch
with the latest software changes (such as software patches) and features. From
the Device Manager Web interface, you can upgrade your switches one at a
time.
To display this dialog box, choose Maintenance>Firmware Upgrade from the
Device Manager Web interface menu.
When the upgrade process completes, a success message appears, and the
switch automatically restarts. It might take a few minutes for the switch to
restart with the new firmware.
