By default the user name is 'uploader' (lower-case) and the password is
'PASSWORD' (all caps). Change the user name and password by selecting
Basic Configuration and Set Security from the HTML interface of the
1783-EMS switch.
5. Check the firmware revision when the upgrade is complete to make sure
the upgrade was successful.
You can use the same process to upgrade the web browser (webdata.img)
and the embedded manual (qsdata.img) files.

the end of the flash procedure.
