Firmware Upgrade

The Firmware Upgrade Utility

As new firmware revisions become available for the KL1508 / KL1516, firmware upgrade packages are posted on our web site. The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a smooth, automated process for upgrading the KVM switch's firmware. 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 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.

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 device.
