The 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 web site regularly to find
the latest packages and information relating to them.

Preparation

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 the

firmware upgrade cable

(provided with this unit), to connect a

COM port on your computer to the

firmware upgrade port

of the switch.
