Upgrade Adapters

The Upgrade Adapters page is used to upgrade the firmware of the KVM Adapter Cables.

To perform the upgrades, do the following:

1.Click the Maintenance tab; select the Upgrade Adapters menu item:

2.Click Adapter Firmware Info to bring up a list of the adapter firmware versions that are stored in the main firmware. If you upgraded the main firmware, it may contain newer versions of the adapter firmware than the versions currently on the adapters.

3.Compare the adapter firmware versions stored in the main firmware with the versions listed in the F/W Version column of the Main Panel. If the versions stored in the firmware are newer than the ones on the adapters, you will probably want to perform the adapter upgrade.

4.In the Name column of the Main Panel, check the ports whose Adapters you want to upgrade.

5.Click Upgrade Adapters to start the upgrade procedure.

ŠIf you enabled Check Adapter Firmware Version, the current firmware level(s) are compared with that of the upgrade versions. If the current version is equal to, or higher than the upgrade version, a message appears in the adapters Progress column informing you that no upgrade is available and stops the upgrade procedure.

ŠIf you didn't enable Check Adapter Firmware Version, the upgrade files are installed without checking what their level is.

ŠWhen the procedure completes the new adapter firmware version displays.
