Web console firmware

| Does anyone know where the latest version of the firmware for the
webconsoles is? I just got a couple of them and wanted to find if there
is anything available for them to update them with "modern"
capabilities. There is no firmware avail from HP, they have been
unsupported for a couple of years. Thats what I get for using old stuff.

Works just fine for me - perhaps there are some connectivity issues
between you and it?

100% sure everything was cut and pasted:
Upgrading Secure Web Console Firmware
The following paragraphs describe the procedures to upgrade your
Secure Web Console (SWC) firmware.
Secure Web Console Firmware (HP Direct) Upgrade Procedure
To upgrade the firmware on your SWC proceed as follows:
Before upgrading, end any sessions with the SWC using the
[Close Console] menu option.
If direct FTP access is not available (firewall, etc.) refer to Secure
Web Console Firmware Upgrade Using A Local FTP Server later in this
section.
Do not disconnect the SWC power during the upgrade procedure.
Failure to follow any precautions in this procedure can result in an
incorrectly configured or damaged SWC.
Step 1. Log into the SWC as Administrator.
Step 2. Select the [Upgrade] option from the [Support] menu.
Step 3. The Upgrade Software screen will be displayed, fill in the
following:
* Use the default login, Anonymous (Use your e-mail address as a
password).
* Source System IP address: 192.151.11.37
* File path: /dist/webconsole/XX.X
The path above is for demonstration only. The XX.X at the end
of the example will be filled with the upgrade version you are
installing.
Step 4. Select [OK] to launch the update process.
As the upgrade progresses, you will see messages about the
files being brought in and written into flash memory. The files will
include:
* APPLICATION.ROM
* BOOTSTRAP.ROM
* RESOURCES.ROM
* upgrade.cnf
If the secure web console already has this version of firmware, a
pop-up window will appear indicating that Your SWC does not need to be
upgraded (Aborted). If you have a problem reconnecting to the WEB
Console after the Upgrade, make sure the browser's cache is cleared
and restarted by exiting your browser then restarting it.
Step 5. Once the process is completed, a pop-up window stating
Upgrade Complete, SWC is now resetting will appear and the SWC will
automatically reboot.
Step 6. RESET the SWC by cycling power (power off then on again).
Secure Web Console Firmware Upgrade Using A Local FTP Server
This procedure should be used when direct access to the HP FTP server
is not available (e.g. firewalls).
Permanent damage to the product may result if these
instructions are not followed EXACTLY.
The transfer must be done in Binary mode and the local FTP
server must be FTP accessible by the Secure Web Console. Do Not
transfer the files from HP to the local server in ASCII mode. If you
do, you will permanently disable the SWC. Failure to follow this
precaution can cause the SWC to stop working. This failure is
UNRECOVERABLE
Step 1. Use the HP FTP site (192.151.11.37) and path
(/dist/webconsole/XX.X) to transfer the following files to your local
FTP server in binary mode:
* APPLICATION.ROM
* BOOTSTRAP.ROM
* RESOURCES.ROM
* upgrade.cnf
The path above is for demonstration only. The XX.X at the end
of the example will be filled with the upgrade version you are
installing.
Step 2. Using FTP, transfer these files to an empty directory on your
local FTP server. Ensure that the file and directory permissions are
set so that ALL files can be read by the FTP user.
Ensure that no other files, beside those listed above, are in
the local FTP directory. If the directory contains extraneous files,
it may permanently damage the Secure Web Console.
Step 3. Perform the upgrade procedure using the [Upgrade] menu option
on the Secure Web Console.

You can get to the ftp site? I can not resolve, ping, traceroute, etc...
to there. I figured they probably shut the site down. Are you going
from your internal network?

I also tried the "standard" hp ftp site ( ftp.hp.com ) and there is no
webconsole under dist.

to Alan and me?

But once lost, how can one tell the mind is going?-) Anyhow, I thought
the "cannot reach" statement was about the documentation, not the
download site itself. I too cannot reach the IP address mentioned in
the instructions. Might try searching on the web for those listed
filenames.
