The ServSelect

®

 IP FLASH upgrade feature allows you to upgrade your unit with the 

latest firmware available. To perform this update you will need a TFTP server. There are 
several free TFTP servers that you can download off the internet. 

Next, you will need to download the latest FLASH firmware from BLACK BOX

®

. 

Contact BLACK BOX technical support and follow their directions for downloading the 
firmware. Save the FLASH upgrade file to the appropriate directory on your TFTP server. 
Once this is complete, the following steps will upload the new FLASH file to the 
ServSelect IP.

To upload a new FLASH file:
1.   Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as 

HyperTerminal) to the configuration port on the back panel of the ServSelect IP. 

The terminal should be set to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no 

flow control. 

2.   Connect the LAN port on the ServSelect IP to an Ethernet hub that is also 

connected to the PC being used as the TFTP server. 

3.   Launch both the server software and the terminal emulation software.
4.   Verify that the ServSelect IP is turned on. After approximately 40 seconds, the 

ServSelect IP will send out a message, BLACK BOX ServSelect IP Ready__

Press any key to continue. Press any key to access the main menu. The 

ServSelect IP main menu appears.

5.   Get the IP address of the TFTP server: If using the SolarWinds TFTP server, it 

appears in the lower right-hand corner of the server’s pane. Otherwise, extract 

it from the OS tools (may be OS-dependent):

a.   Right-click on Network Neighborhood.

b.   Select Properties.

c.   Select the Protocols tab.

d.   Select TCP/IP protocol.

e.   Select Properties and note the IP address.

6.   Assign the IP address in the ServSelect IP, if needed:

a.   In the HyperTerminal window, type 

to select Network Configuration.

b.   Note the appliance IP address. The first three numbers must be the same as 

in the server’s IP address from step 5 above. The last number must be dif-

ferent. If the IP address is not correct, change it as follows: type 

 to select 

IP address, then enter the correct address.

c.   Type 

 to exit the Network Configuration menu. If you changed the IP 

address, wait per the directions on the screen.
