5.8.2.2 Date/Time Setting

Figure 5.21: Date/Time settings

This link refers to a page, where the internal realtime clock of PS/2 KVM over IP switch can be set up (see Figure 5.21). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually or to use a NTP time server. Without a time server, your time setting won’t be persistent, so you have to adjust it again, after PS/2 KVM over IP switch loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this, you can use a NTP time server, which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time.

Attention:

There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.

5.8.2.3 Update Firmware

PS/2 KVM over IP switch is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called the firmware. The firmware of PS/2 KVM over IP switch can be updated remotely in order to install new functionality or special features.

A new firmware update is a binary file which will be sent to you by email or which you can download from the PS/2 KVM over IP switch web site. If the firmware file is compressed (file suffix .zip) then you must unzip it before you can proceed. Under the Windows operating system you may use WinZip from http://www.winzip.com/ for uncompression. Other operating systems might provide a program called unzip.
