KVM Flash Upgrade Utility

Installation of KVM Utility

The installer for the KVM Utility may be distributed in one of two formats: a ZIP file or an EXE.

If the installer is distributed as a ZIP file, open it in WinZip and unzip the contents to a known location. The ZIP file contains the EXE format.

Double-click on the EXE file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the KVM Utility. Installation is a standard Windows type installation. After installation, the KVM Utility can be launched from the Desktop, the Start Menu and/or the Quick Launch bar to the right of the Start button on the Taskbar.

Hookup of Device

The KVM flash upgrade utility is a universal program used to flash several models. In order for the KVM Utility to detect the correct device to flash, it must be connected directly to a PC and the PC must be connected to port 1 on the switch.

Running the KVM Utility

When the KVM Utility has been successfully installed, it can now be run. If the device has been hooked up as described above, the KVM Utility will auto-detect the device when it is launched and display the connected device. Otherwise, it will display a message that an incorrect device has been connected.

Once the KVM Utility has detected the device correctly, the device may be flashed or configured from the File Menu. The following page summarizes the installation procedure.
