The Firmware Upgrade Utility

smooth, automated process for upgrading the KVM switch's firmware.
The Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for
each device. New firmware upgrade packages are posted on our web site as
new firmware revisions become available. Check the web site regularly to find
