Firmware-Upgrade Guide

This firmware-upgradeable KVM Switch allows you to upgrade firmware contents whenever it is needed to enhance its compatibility to other devices or its functionality and performance. We offer both Windows and Mac® versions of the upgrade utility. You can choose either one depending on the computer platform on which you are going to perform the KVM Switch firmware uploading. The correct firmware-upgrade procedures using the Windows and Mac upgrade utilities are described below. Please follow the instructions to complete your

firmware upgrade.

The firmware upgrade is performed through port 1 of the KVM Switch, so the KVM cables that are connected to port 1 should remain connected. Unplug all remaining KVM cables and peripheral cables connecting the KVM Switch to your computers or peripherals. You can leave the power cable connected to the KVM Switch. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor should be disconnected from the KVM Switch and plugged in directly to the host computer.

The computer that is connected to port 1 of the KVM Switch will be performing the upgrade and will be referenced as the “Host PC” for this process.

Upgrade Using the Windows Version Utility

Prepare your KVM Switch and the Host PC

Step 1.

Ensure that the power adapter is connected to the KVM Switch. Check to make sure that the KVM cables for port 1 remain connected to the KVM Switch. The monitor, mouse, and keyboard should be disconnected from the console port of the KVM Switch and plugged in directly to the host computer. The power supply should also remain connected to the KVM Switch.

Step 2.

Power on the host PC and copy/download the firmware-upgrade utility, “Uniloader.exe”, and the firmware-upgrade file, “*.uni”, from belkin.com/support.
