 7. Administration 

(continued)

Upgrade Main Firmware 

The Upgrade Main Firmware sub-section is used to upgrade the 
firmware of the KVM switch. As firmware upgrades become available, 

they can be found on www.tripplite.com/support. To upgrade the 
KVM firmware, follow the steps below.
1.  Go to www.tripplite.com/support to download the most current 

firmware and save it to a computer that is not connected to the 
KVM switch.

2.  Logon to the OSD, and navigate to the 

Maintenance

 section, 

which will open with the 

Upgrade Main Firmware

 sub-section 

page displayed.

3.  By default, the 

Check Main Firmware Version

 box is checked, 

which causes the KVM to check to see if the current firmware is 

newer than that of the firmware file you are using to upgrade the 
KVM. If the current version is newer, you will not be allowed to 

continue with the upgrade. If you wish to perform a firmware 

upgrade without checking to see if the current firmware version is 
newer than the upgrade file, simply uncheck this checkbox.

4.  Click the 

Browse

 button, and then navigate to and select the 

firmware upgrade file you downloaded from the Tripp Lite website. 

When selected, the 

Upgrade Firmware

 button becomes active.

5.  Click the 

Upgrade Firmware

 button to begin the firmware 

upgrade. As the upgrade proceeds, progress is shown in the 

Upload Progress

 bar.

6.  When the upload is complete, a pop-up appears stating 

System 

will reboot in a few seconds

. The KVM switch will reboot (this 

may take a few minutes), and the upgrade will be complete. In 
the event of a firmware upgrade failure, see the 

Main Firmware 

Upgrade Recovery 

section below.

7.2.19 Maintenance

Note:

 

Super Administrators

 are the only users who are guaranteed access to the Maintenance section of the KVM. 

Administrators

 and

can only access this function if they are given permission.

The Main Screen

The 

Maintenance

 section can be used to upgrade the KVM, backup/

restore system configuration and account information, ping network 
devices, and restore the KVM’s default values. When selected, the 

Maintenance

 section opens with the 

Upgrade Main Firmware

 

subsection displayed.

Backup/Restore 

The

 Backup/Restore

 subsection allows you to backup and restore the 

KVM switch configuration and user profile information.

can skip this step.

2.  Click the 

Backup

 button.

3.  A pop-up appears asking you to save the backup file. Browse to a 

desired location on your computer to save the file to.

Restore

To restore the KVM switch using a backup file, follow the steps 

below.
1.  Click on the 

Browse

 button to the right of the filename field, and 

then navigate to and select the backup file.

2.  If you set up a password when creating the backup file, enter it in 

the 

Password

 field.

3.  Select as many of the options that are presented as you wish to 

restore, and then click the 

Restore

 button. Once complete, a 

message appears to inform you that the procedure succeeded.

Main Firmware Upgrade Recovery

Should the KVM firmware upgrade procedure fail, and the switch 

becomes unusable, follow the steps below to restore the KVM.
1.  Power off the KVM.
2.  Press and hold the 

Reset

 switch on the front of the unit.

3.  Power on the KVM while holding down the 

Reset

version. You will now be able to access the KVM switch and try 
upgrading the firmware again.
