7.3 FLASH Upgrading

To upgrade the FLASH code on your APC KVM Switch, you will ﬁrst need to obtain the latest FLASH ﬁrmware revision from APC. It is available online at www.apc.com.

Next you will need a serial cable (available at most electronics stores) to connect a computer to your APC KVM Switch. Simply connect the serial cable between the SETUP port on your APC KVM Switch to the serial port on the computer.

You will then need some form of terminal software on your attached computer so that it can communicate with the APC KVM Switch. There are several that are commercially available. Select one that you are comfortable with and be sure that it can communicate at 38,400 baud.
