Tripp Lite B072-016-1-IP warranty Connecting the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable

33. Upgrading the NetCommander IP Firmware (Continued)

Connecting the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable

To run the firmware upgrade software, you must first connect the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between the B072-016-1-IP and a separate computer (One not connected to the KVM switch) containing the firmware upgrade software. Note: Each cascaded KVM Switch must be updated separately. When you’re done updating the first KVM Switch, attach the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between each cascaded KVM and the Update Computer. For the firmware upgrade to take place, the Serial Port option in the OSD General Settings Menu must be set to On. If it is set to Off, you will not be able to perform a firmware upgrade. When password security is turned on, the only person who can turn the Serial Port option On and Off is the administrator.
