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 Website as new firmware revisions become available. Check the web site regularly to find the latest packages and information relating to them.

Before you Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

1.From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation ( disconnect the computer from the KVM) go to our Internet support site and choose the model name that relates to your device (GCS1204) to get Firmware Upgrade 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 with this unit, to connect a COM port on your computer to the Firmware Upgrade Port of your switch.
