The Firmware Upgrade Utility

Introduction

The purpose of the Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility is to provide an automated process for upgrading the KH2508A / KH2516A and compatible adapter cable firmware. The program comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each device.

The latest revisions of new firmware for the KH2508A / KH2516A, and supported KVM Adapter Cables are posted as Firmware Upgrade Packages on our web site. Check the website regularly to find the latest firmware packages and information relating to them.

Note: 1. A single upgrade package contains the upgrade files for the Main Board, OSD and all the supported KVM Adapter Cables.

2.KVM Adapter Cables are referred to as I/O Modules in some dialog boxes.

Before You Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

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 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.
