3.0 Upgrading the Xtreme Software
The Xtreme switch allows the software to be upgraded in the field. The software is
available in the form of a binary file. It must be downloaded into the switch through the
network connection or through the Serial Port Interface.
) Note: You must have the network parameters setup properly and Telnet access enabled in
order to use the network to upgrade the software.
Upgrading the software will not affect the device configuration.

Xmodem from the drop down list, then click Ok. (For other emulations, please check your
Operating System Software User’s Guide).
The download should start and proceed to download the file. The System will reboot after

NOTE: Please do not interrupt the switch or the Desktop PC during the download process.
You can safely terminate the download anytime and the existing version of the software will
continue to be used.
