Prosafe FS726TP Not discovered by either SMartWizard or SCC
I am attempting to upgrade the Firmwareof the switch. Upgrade instructions indicate that I may need to use Smartwizard to upgrade the Bootloader and then will need SCC to apply the firmware upgrade....

Hi askme233,
My bad! :( I found out that there are only 2 options available on the Firmware Menu when you access the web-GUI of the FS726TP. The 2 options are: Configuration Backup and Factory Reset. There is no option to perform a firmware upgrade.
Here are my follow-up questions:
a. Does your PC/laptop have a software firewall or anti-virus installed? If yes, kindly disable or uninstall it for the meantime and check if the FS726TP will be detected by the SCC utility.
b. Have you tried using other PCs/laptops and check if the FS726TP will be detected by the SCC utility?
c. Have you tried to reboot the FS726TP then check if it will be detected by the SCC utility?

Hi askme233,
Welcome to the community! :)
Since the FS726TP is on firmware v2.0.1_02, I believe the boot code has been updated already. You mentioned that the switch is easily accessible from the browser, have you tried to perform the firmware upgrade via its web-GUI?
