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 upgrade packages are posted on our web site as new firmware revisions become available.

Before You Begin

1.From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our Internet support site and choose the model name that relates to your device (CS-1772 / CS-1774) to get a list of available 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.

4.Unplug the KVM cables from the back of the switch.

5.Invoke Firmware Upgrade Mode (see p. 21). The switch’s front panel LEDs flash to indicate that it is in Firmware Upgrade Mode.
