Managing the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 Switch OBWI
The AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch OBWI provides several configuration options to tailor the
switch to your specific application.
Upgrading IQ modules
The IQ module Flash upgrade feature allows you to update IQ modules with the latest firmware
available. This update can be performed using the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch OBWI or the
OSCAR interface.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch
pe
rforms a soft reset, which terminates all IQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an IQ
module firmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will
appear normally when the Flash update is completed.
NOTE: Check www.avocent.com for firmware upgrade files.
NOTE: IQ modules are automatically updated when the AutoView 3050/3100/3200 switch is upgraded.
If issues occur during the normal upgrade process, IQ modules may also be force upgraded
when needed.
