USING YOUR SWITCH

Completing the Firmware Update

The Switch needs to be power-cycled (or reset) after a successful download, so that it can program its internal components. The update process will not be complete until the device has been power-cycled.

Warning! If the update process failed or was disrupted, DO NOT power-cycle the device! Resetting the device at this point may cause the Switch to be programmed with corrupted data. This may cause your Switch to stop working and become incapable of accepting corrective updates. Try updating the device again; if this fails, then contact Belkin Technical Support for assistance.

Completing a Standalone KVM Firmware Update

1.Power-cycle or reset the Switch.

2.The internal components of the Switch will be reprogrammed with the new code (This may take several minutes). During the programming process, the direct-access port selector LEDs will blink on and off and the 7-segment LEDs will display a series of diagnostic codes.

3.When the update is complete, the Switch will play a series of tones, boot automatically, and display the Splash Screen. The Switch is now updated and fully functional.

Completing a Firmware Update on Multiple KVM Switches (Daisy-Chained)

1.Power-off ALL of the Switches in the daisy-chain.

2.Power-on ONE Switch.

3.The internal components of the Switch will be reprogrammed with the new code (This may take a few minutes). During the programming process the direct-access port selector LEDs will blink on and off and the 7-segment LEDs will display a series of diagnostic codes.

4.When the update is complete (approximately 2 minutes), the Switch will play a series of tones, boot automatically, and display the Splash Screen. The Switch is now updated and fully functional.

5.POWER-OFFthe updated Switch.

6.Repeat steps 2–5 for each of the Switches until all have been successfully updated.

7.When all of the Switches have been independently updated, power-on all of the BANKs of the daisy-chain. The entire daisy-chain is now updated and fully functional.
