Firmware Upgrade Utility
The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility
(FWUpgrade.exe) provides a 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 IOGEAR web site regularly to
find the latest packages and information relating
to them.
Before You Begin
To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the
following:
1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM
installation go to our support site and choose
the model name that relates to your device
(GCS1758) 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.
