Firmware Upgrade

Chapter 3. Administrator Utility

Firmware Upgrade

Super administrators can upgrade firmware for the KM0832 as well as for attached console modules and KVM adapter cables. If there are any directly cascaded KM0832 switches, they are also upgraded at the same time. As new versions of the KM0832 firmware become available, they can be downloaded from our website. Check the website regularly to find the latest information and packages.

Before You Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade:

1.From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to the Altusen website and choose the model name that relates to your device. A list of available firmware upgrade packages appears.

2.Choose the firmware upgrade package that you want to install (usually the most recent) and download it to your computer.

3.From that computer, open a Web browser and log in to the KM0832 (see Logging In on page 31).

4.Shut down all of the computers—but not the stations—on your KVM installation.
