User Interface software comes pre-loaded on your 

MPX

. You do not have to reload unless you 

are upgrading, backing up, or reloading due to file corruption.

There are different methods for loading software into your switch. The method you use 
depends on your hardware configuration and the condition of the switch. These methods are:

•

FTP

 Server - The Omni Switch/Router has a built-in 

FTP

 server. If you have 

FTP

 client soft-

ware, you can 

FTP

 to the switch and load new software.

•

FTP

 Client - The Omni Switch/Router can also be an 

FTP

 client. You can use this by 

connecting a terminal to the switch and using the set of 

FTP

 commands in the User Inter-

face. You can also do this through a telnet session.

•

ZMODEM

 - You can load software directly through the serial port with any terminal emula-

tor that supports the 

ZMODEM

 protocol. You can do this using the file commands in the 

User Interface or through the boot line prompt. Note that a 

ZMODEM

 transfer of larger files 

can take several minutes to complete.

When loading software, ensure that the versions of software for all the modules are from the 
same release. Mixing earlier versions of software with current versions can cause the switch to 
reset or hang. 

If at anytime, a file transfer fails, a fragment of the file may be left on your system. This 
remaining file is corrupted. You should delete the file fragment and reload the file before 
continuing. If the 

MPX

 image file (

) is corrupted, you will receive a message during 

the boot sequence requesting you to delete the file. You should delete the file and reload it 
using 

ZMODEM

 through the boot line prompt. See Using ZMODEM With the Boot Line Prompt
