The Firmware Upgrade Utility
The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the KVM switch's firmware.
New firmware upgrade packages are posted on our web site as new firmware
revisions become available. Check the web site regularly to find the latest
packages and information relating to them.
Preparation
To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:
1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our Inter-
net support site and choose the model name that relates to your device to
get a list of available Firmware Upgrade Packages.
2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the
most recent), and download it to your computer.
3. Use the
Firmware Upgrade Cable
provided with this unit to connect a COM
port on your computer to the
Firmware Upgrade Port
of your switch.
Note: On a daisy chained installation, the chained stations will
automatically receive the upgrade via the daisy chain cables.
