7.7 Upgrading the Firmware
As new versions of the NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access firmware become available, they can be downloaded from our Website at www.tripplite.com.
Note: Although upgrading the firmware isn’t on the OSD Administration page, it is an adminis- trative function, so we will discuss it in this chapter.
To upgrade the firmware, do the following:
1.Download the new firmware file to a computer that is not part of your KVM switch installation.
2.From that computer, open your browser and log in to the NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access (see section 8.1, Logging In).
3.Click the Firmware icon (see section 8.2, Webpage Layout) to open the Firmware configuration dialog box:
4.Click Browse; navigate to the directory that the new firmware file is in and select the file.
5.Click Upgrade.
6.After the upload completes, click the Logout icon to exit and reset the
KVM switch.
