USING YOUR SWITCH

When the update is complete, the Next button will become active, allowing the user to complete the update.

If the download fails for any reason, a dialog box will appear with an option to retry the update.

If the application has completed successfully, this screen will be displayed. If a reboot is required, that will be indicated on this screen. When you click “Finish”, the AutoUpdate application will close.

When the AutoUpdate is complete, the 7-segment LED will display “PC”, indicating that a power cycle is needed to complete the update.

USING YOUR SWITCH

Completing the Firmware Update

The Switch needs to be power-cycled (or reset) after a successful download, so that it can program its internal components. The update process will not be complete until the device has been power-cycled.

Warning! If the update process failed or was disrupted, DO NOT power-cycle the device! Resetting the device at this point may cause the Switch to be programmed with corrupted data. This may cause your Switch to stop working and become incapable of accepting corrective updates. Try updating the device again; if this fails, then contact Belkin Technical Support for assistance.

Completing a Standalone KVM Firmware Update

1.Power-cycle or reset the Switch.

2.The internal components of the Switch will be reprogrammed with the new code (This may take several minutes). During the programming process, the direct-access port selector LEDs will blink on and off and the 7-segment LEDs will display a series of diagnostic codes.

3.When the update is complete, the Switch will play a series of tones, boot automatically, and display the Splash Screen. The Switch is now updated and fully functional.
