Srw2024 Downloading Code Using Xmodem Source

Topic Includes: I bricked my SRW2024 switch by installing the 1. Winthruster Serial 2014 on this page. 2.2b firmware straight-away. I was able to 'unbrick' it yesterday. I found a version of the 1.0.0.86 code on some obscure FTP server.

Additionally, I used a very old Compaq Armada laptop running XP32 to connect to the SRW2024 switch (via hyperterminal) and a native COM port versus a USB to COM port connection that was on a Vista32 machine that was much newer. MSDOS, Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem will always have their usefulness (yes, this does show my age).

The long transfer time went A-OK and I'm not certain if it was the native COM port, older OS, or what that made it succeed. The filename was runtop-10086.ros. Also available were runtop-10059 and runtop-10057. But, I knew that my original was 10086.

NOW, after all of this hassle, what is the correct way to upgrade the software of this switch? I see in the Web UI under 'Maintenance ->File Download' a check box for 'Firmware.' A TFTP server IP address is needed. A source file name is needed.
