The Firmware Upgrade Utility

Introduction

The purpose of the Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility 
(FWUpgrade.exe) is to provide an automated process for upgrading the KVM 
switch's firmware as easy as possible. The program comes as part of a 
Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each device.

As new firmware revisions become available, new firmware upgrade packages 
are posted on our Website. Check the Website regularly to find the latest 
information and packages.

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 

Internet support site and choose the model name that relates to your device 
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 Cat 5 cable to connect the KM0216 / KM0432's Firmware Upgrade 

Port to a hub that the computer you used in Step 1 connects to.

Note:

On a daisy-chained installation, connect the cable to the First Station 
unit. The chained stations will receive the upgrade via the daisy-
chain cables.
