KVM Flash Upgrade Utility
Installation of KVM Utility
The installer for the KVM Utility may be distributed in one of two
formats: a ZIP file or an EXE.
If the installer is distributed as a ZIP file, open it in WinZip and unzip
the contents to a known location. The ZIP file contains the EXE
format.
Double-click on the EXE file and follow the on-screen instructions to
install the KVM Utility. Installation is a standard Windows type
installation. After installation, the KVM Utility can be launched from
the Desktop, the Start Menu and/or the Quick Launch bar to the right
of the Start button on the Taskbar.
Hookup of Device
The KVM flash upgrade utility is a universal program used to flash
several models. In order for the KVM Utility to detect the correct
device to flash, it must be connected directly to a PC and the PC must
be connected to port 1 on the switch.
Running the KVM Utility
When the KVM Utility has been successfully installed, it can now be
run. If the device has been hooked up as described above, the KVM
Utility will auto-detect the device when it is launched and display the
connected device. Otherwise, it will display a message that an
incorrect device has been connected.
Once the KVM Utility has detected the device correctly, the device
may be flashed or configured from the File Menu. The following page
summarizes the installation procedure.
More Information
The Quick Start Guide that follows provides a step by step procedure for
installing the firmware upgrade. This upgrade procedure can only be
performed on firmware versions KVM-V5x or greater. Older model chips
are not flash upgradeable. You must upgrade firmware chips on these
models.
