Belkin F1DW216 user manual Using Your Switch

USING YOUR SWITCH

To start the update process, you must run the AutoUpdate application by selecting “AutoUpdate.exe” from the start menu, or a desktop shortcut.

The first screen of the AutoUpdate application will prompt the user to select an automatic or manual update. You should generally select automatic, unless you have a specific reason to do otherwise. An automatic update will check the firmware on the Switch and compare the versions installed against the latest versions available; if there are newer versions, the application will download the new firmware from the Internet and transfer it into the Switch. Then the user needs to power-cycle the KVM Switch(es), to complete the firmware installation. The manual update works similarly, but the user needs to acquire the correct update file manually.

Note: Before updating the Switch, make sure that AutoScan is off and IntelliView is not displayed on the console. This will reduce the level of extraneous activity in the Switch.
