Firmware upgrade
It is recommended that the HMX extender system use the most current firmware version available,
and transmitters and receivers are Flash upgradable at any time. Regardless of your configuration,
the same firmware version must be used across all units in your system.
In a managed matrix configuration, it is recommended that you use the HMX Advanced Manager
software to quickly upgrade the firmware across multiple transmitters and receivers. The HMX
5100 and 5200 extenders are not downgradable, so the HMX Advanced Manager server must be
upgraded to the same version as the extenders to be compatible. See the Avocent® HMX
Advanced Manager Installer/User Guide for more information on upgrading the HMX Advanced
Manager server. If the extender does not operate properly after the HMX Advanced Manager
server is upgraded, a factory reset may need to be performed on the extender.
