The Firmware Upgrade Utility

The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the KVM switch's firmware. The
Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each
device. New firmware upgrade packages are posted on our web site as new
firmware revisions become available. Check the web site regularly to find the
latest packages and information relating to them:

Preparation

Internet support site and choose the model name that relates to your device

Packages.
2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the
most recent), and download it to your computer.
3. Use the Firmware Upgrade Cable provided to connect a COM port on
your computer to the Firmware Upgrade Port of your switch.
