A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card. [. . . ] Store and Forward requires more memory because the DES-5200 must store the packet before sending it out. Advantages of Cut-Through Cut-Through is faster because the packet is sent as soon as the first 128 bytes are received. Cut-Through requires less memory since the DES-5200 only reads the address but does not store the entire message. Disadvantages of Cut-Through Bad packets are perpetuated, taking up bandwidth. Cut-Through can not be used on networks that use both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. Follow these steps to change the default setting from Store and Forward to CutThrough: 1. Select Save and press Enter. Managing the DES-5200 50 Fast Ethernet Switching System User's Guide Software Update Menu The Software Update menu is used to update the software on the DES-5200. XMODEM requires a direct physical connection between a PC and the DES5200. TFTP requires a TFTP server and that you know the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the server and the complete path and filename. TFTP can be done over the network or from a remote location. Software Update Configuration XMODEM There are two options on the menu displayed in Figure 27. XMODEM is the default option. Figure 27: Software Update Configuration Follow these steps to download using XMODEM: 1. Use HyperTerminal with the settings given under Local Console Management. Select EXECUTE and press Enter.

If you do not want to update software select No and press Enter to return to the previous panel. Go to Transfer on the HyperTerminal menu and select Send File, Figure 29. You will see the panel displayed in Figure 30, that shows elapsed time and other information about the software update. Reset the DES-5200 when you see the final update panel, displayed in Figure 31. 5. 6.

For example, if the IP address of the DES-5200 is 100. 100. 100. 001 then the TFTP server must have an IP address beginning with 100. 100. 100. Only the last three digits will be unique to the server and the DES-5200. Enter the complete path and filename of the software and select Execute, Figure 32. When the transfer is complete, Figure 33, reset the DES-5200 for the changes to take effect.
