7.3.7 Maintenance

The Maintenance page allows administrators to upgrade the IP firmware
of the KVM switch, as well as backup and restore the KVM configuration
settings and user profiles.
Firmware Upgrade
To upgrade the KVMs IP firmware, follow the steps below:
1. Download the firmware upgrade file from www.tripplite.com/support.
2. Open the Web Management Interface and navigate to the Maintenance
page.

upgrade process.
6. Upgrade the Mainboard, Input/Output Ports and Keyboard firmware
via the Local Console OSD. (See page 30 for details on Local Console

Firmware Upgrade Recovery
In the event of a firmware upgrade failure, or an aborted firmware
upgrade, perform a firmware upgrade recovery by completing the
following steps.
1. Power OFF the switch. If it is part of a daisychain installation,
disconnect it from the chain.
2. Connect the firmware upgrade cable to the firmware upgrade port.
3. Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery switch to the Recover position.
4. Power the switch back ON and repeat the upgrade procedure.

7. Power the switch back ON.

7.3.8 Log

Important transactions that occur on the KVM switch, such as logins and
internal status messages, are kept in an automatically generated log file
located in the Web Management Interface. In addition to this, a more
expansive, searchable Windows-based Log Server is included in the CD
that comes with the KVM. (See page 53 for details on the Log Server.) To
view the built-in log file, simply click on the Log icon on the left side of
the Web Management Interface screen.

Backup Configuration / User Accounts
This section of the page gives you the ability to back up the KVM's
configuration settings and user profile information.
To perform a backup, do the following:
1. Enter a password into the Password field. This password will be
required when using the backup file to restore the KVM configuration
settings and/or user profile information.
2. Select what type of backup you wish to create; Backup Configuration,
Backup User Accounts or Backup All.
3. Click the Save button to create the backup file.
4. A prompt will appear asking if you want to save the file or find a
program to open it. Click the Save button, give the file a unique name
and save it in a convenient location.
Restore Configuration / User Accounts
To erase the configuration settings and/or user profile information
currently stored on the KVM and replace it with that from a backup file,
do the following:
1. In the Password field, key in the password that you entered when
creating the backup file.
2. Click the Browse button, navigate to the backup file and select it.
3. After selecting the backup file, click the Restore button. After the file
is restored, a message appears to inform you that the procedure
succeeded.
A maximum of 512 events are kept in this log file. New events are
recorded and placed at the bottom of the list, whereas older events are
placed at the top of the list. When a new event is recorded after there are
already 512 events in the log file, the oldest record is discarded to make
room for the new one. To clear the log file, click on the Clear Log icon in
the lower-right corner of the screen.
