I am trying to upgrade the firmware on my GS716T v2 Switch. I cannot discover the switch using SmartControl Center. I can discover it with SmartWizard Discovery. I can also log into the web GUI.
Inside the WebGui I cannot find any indication of the current firmware version only the Software Version, currently 4.2.1.5 and the Boot Version 5.0.3.2.
I have tried to upgrade the firmware using HTTP download from the WebGUI but the Software and Boot Versions have stayed the same and there is no indication as to whether the firmware has been updated.
My question is from the WebGUI how do I find out what version of the Firmware I have?
How do I upgrade the firmware using the SmartWizard as it doesn't appear to work and I can't find a How to Guide or Video for the SmartWizard Discovery?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have managed to update the firmware.
Step 1. use SmartWizard, then when you have upgraded to 5.0 then use SmartControl to upgrade to latest version. When using SmartControl you need to check the Task tab to see it uploading.
Reboot switch after every successful firmware upload.

I have found on the SmartWizard panel that there is details of the firmware if you move the slider over.
I have also found that if I enter the Switch Password into the Upgrade Password box and click Apply then click Start Upgrade the firmware updates.
