Maintenance/Firmware Upgrade – Upgrading
the Firmware via Web
The
Firmware Upgrade
page is where you can browse to the path location of the KVM firmware upgrade
file, and upload it to PRIMA IP across your LAN or across the Internet.
The KVM firmware file contains the firmware of the KVM card, which is associated with the KLE-like IP
module inside PRIMA IP. It contains also the firmware of all PRIMA KVM switch models that can be daisy
chained with PRIMA-IP. PRIMA IP will update automatically any KVM switch into the daisy chain that is
not running the latest firmware version.
Note:
The Prima IP upgrade file must have a name such as kvmfirm-xx-xx-xx, for example,
kvmfirm-06-07-29.
Note:
The Prima IP upgrade file is of an accumulative nature, which means that you only have to
apply the single latest upgrade file to keep your PRIMA IP KVM firmware most up-to-date
Performing a firmware upgrade for Prima IP
File Path:
Browse to the location of the update file and click
Upload
.
A progress indicator bar will be running to indicate the on-going upload process. Depending on the upgrade
file size and the bandwidth availability across the network, file upload time can vary from 1 minute to 20
minutes.
When the upload process is complete, Prima IP will reboot by itself and the KVM switches into the daisy
chain will upgrade their firmware automatically.
