GS108Tv2 Can't write time?

Question

I just unboxed a new GS108Tv2 that I've had in the box for quite some time. It seems to work OK, but I can't write the date message is "Error: Failed to set Local date". It won't take a new password either.

I've also tried to update the firmware and that doesn't update either.

I apologize for the late response. :(&nbsp; &nbsp;Let us&nbsp;use image 2 (if ever image 1 is currently active or&nbsp;vice versa). Here are the steps:

&nbsp;

1. On your PC, download the latest firmware v5.4.2.35 from this&nbsp;link&nbsp;then unzip it.&nbsp; Save it on your&nbsp;the PC.&nbsp;&nbsp;

2. Disconnect the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch from the existing network.

3. Connect a PC directly to a LAN port (management port) of the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch.&nbsp; Set a static IP address on the PC that is within the same IP range of the IP address set on the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch.&nbsp;&nbsp;

4. Access the web-GUI of the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch.

5. Go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt; File Management &gt; Dual Image &gt; Dual Image Status. Check the current-active image.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Note: If the current-active image is image1 then we need to activate image2 (or vice versa) then reflash the firmware. Let say for example, the&nbsp;current-active image is image1 with firmware&nbsp;v5.4.2.35 and image2 is the next-active which has either an old firmware version or latest version as well.

&nbsp;

6. Let's activate image2.&nbsp; Go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt; File Management &gt; Dual Image &gt; Dual Image Configuration.&nbsp; On the image name, select image2 then check the Active Image box and click Apply.&nbsp;&nbsp;

7. Go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt;&nbsp;Reset &gt;&nbsp;Device Reboot.&nbsp; Check the box and click Apply.&nbsp; Wait until the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch reboots.

8. After the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch booted up, go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt; File Management &gt; Dual Image &gt; Dual Image Status. Check the current-active image.&nbsp; Image2 should be the current-active image.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

From steps 1-5, kindly read pages 7-10 to 7-12 of the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 software administration manual&nbsp;here&nbsp;about Dual Image Configuration and Dual Image Status.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

9. Now that image2 is activated, we will now update the firmware.&nbsp; Go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt;&nbsp;Download &gt;&nbsp;HTTP File Download.

10. On the File Type, select Archive.&nbsp; Then, browse the&nbsp;the latest firmware v5.4.2.35 you have unzip earlier. and click Apply.

&nbsp;

Note:&nbsp;After a file transfer is started, wait until the screen refreshes. When the screen refreshes, the Select File option is blanked out. This indicates that the file transfer is done.

&nbsp;

11. After uploading the firmware&nbsp;v5.4.2.35 on image2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go to&nbsp;Maintenance &gt;&nbsp;Reset &gt;&nbsp;Factory Default.&nbsp;&nbsp;Check the box and click Apply. This will factory reset the&nbsp;GS108Tv2 switch.&nbsp; Wait until the switch boots up properly.

12. Reconfigure the setting from scratch and reconnect it to the existing network.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

TAC57,

&nbsp;

I suggest you to perform a factory reset on your&nbsp;GS108Tv2.&nbsp; With default settings, check if you will be able to change the password as well update the firmware to the latest version which is v5.4.2.35.&nbsp; You can download firmware v5.4.2.35&nbsp;here.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

DaneA a factory reset did the trick on being able to update my p/w and writing the time and date.&nbsp; No luck on updating the firmware, went to 31% and stopped.
