5.8.2.2 Date/Time Setting
Figure 5.21: Date/Time settings
This link refers to a page, where the internal realtime clock of PS/2 KVM over IP switch can be
set up (see Figure 5.21). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually or to use a NTP
time server. Without a time server, your time setting won’t be persistent, so you have to adjust it
again, after PS/2 KVM over IP switch loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this,
you can use a NTP time server, which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC
time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static
offset to get your local time.
Attention:
There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you have to
set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.
5.8.2.3 Update Firmware
PS/2 KVM over IP switch is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called the
firmware. The firmware of PS/2 KVM over IP switch can be updated remotely in order to install

A new firmware update is a binary file which will be sent to you by email or which you can

you may use WinZip from http://www.winzip.com/ for uncompression. Other operating systems
