8. Firmware Upgrade Utility

8.1 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 www.tripplite.com/support  

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 and Firmware Upgrade Utility 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 your switch.

Note: 

On a daisy chained installation, the chained stations will automatically receive the upgrade via the 

daisy chain cables.

4.  Shut down all of the computers - but not the daisy-chained KVM Stations - on your KVM 

installation.

5.  From your KVM switch console, bring up the OSD (see pages 14-20) and select the

 F4 ADM

 

function.

6.  Scroll down to 

FIRMWARE UPGRADE

. Press

 [Enter]

, then press

 [Y]

 to invoke Firmware 

Upgrade Mode. For your reference, the current firmware upgrade version displays on the 
screen.
