Single port PS2 KVM over IP
Before you can start updating the firmware of your PS/2 KVM over IP switch the new uncompressed firmware file must be accessible on the system that you use for connecting to PS/2 KVM over IP switch.
Updating the firmware is a three-stage process:
Firstly the new firmware file is uploaded onto PS/2 KVM over IP switch. In order to do that you need to select the file on your local system using the browse button of the Upload Firmware panel (see Figure 5.22). Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it is checked whether it is a valid firmware file and whether there were any transmission errors. In case of any error the Upload Firmware function will be aborted.

Secondly, if everything went well, you see the Update Firmware panel (see Figure 5.22). The panel shows you the version number of the currently running firmware and the version number of the uploaded firmware. Pressing the update button will store the new version over the old one. Attention: this process is not reversible and might take some minutes. Make sure the PS/2 KVM over IP switch’s power supply won’t be interrupted during the update process, because this may cause an unusable device.
Thirdly, after the firmware has been stored, the panel will request you to reset PS/2 KVM over IP switch manually. Half a minute after the reset, PS/2 KVM over IP switch will run with the new firmware version and should be accessible. However, you are requested to login once again.
