2. Download Configuration Software
   #After the connection is completed, there we recommend the super terminal, putty, or Secure CRT tool to configure the switch.

   #Energizing the switch, then open the installed login software, select the serial port of login mode, the port through the device manager to determine. Baud rate:115200, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1. (Reference below)
   NOTE: COM Number can be viewed through device manager. (right-click on my computer.>manage>device manager>port (COM and LPT). If it displays an unrecognized USB device, please download and install the corresponding driver.

NOTE:

1. Attention should be paid to the following issues when loading images through TFTP servers :
   • Ensure that you are properly configured as a TFTP server;
   • Ensure that Switch routes to TFTP servers are accessible. If there is no router for routing communication between subnetworks, switches and TFTP servers must be in the same network;
   • Make sure that the configuration files you want to download are in the correct directory on the TFTP server;
   • Download operation to ensure that the file’s permissions are set correctly.
2. After successfully entering the system, it is still necessary to download the upgrade package from the TFTP server to the switch system folder according to the routine process. And specify the upgrade package as the next load project for the system to start. For more information, please refer to the S3950 -4T12S Switches FSOS Software Upgrade Guide.
