Auto Self Upgrade

The Digital KVM via IP includes an innovative feature allowing the unit to upgrade itself over the

Internet. Simply click on the button labeled “Upgrade to Latest” and the unit will go out to the Internet

and download the latest version of the system firmware and then install it. If the unit cannot access the

Internet directly (perhaps due to a web proxy or other firewalls), then a page will be shown that causes

your browser to download the required file. Save this file to disk and then upload it as described in the

next section, Manual Upload. The main FPGA is upgraded separately, and has its own Get latest

button. This file is unique for each unit, so it must be done in this manner.

If you have multiple units to upgrade, you may choose the “Get latest version” button that will not

attempt to upgrade the unit directly, but will instead fetch the required file. This file can be uploaded to

multiple units manually.

Manual Upload

Enter the name of the firmware file that you received from DIGITUS

Technology Inc. into the field

provided (or use the Browse... button). Press Start Upload and wait until a successful upload message

is shown.

NOTE: Remember the following during the firmware upgrade.

• Do NOT turn off power to unit before this operation completes successfully. It may take

several minutes to write to flash memory.

• The unit will sometimes reboot as part of the upgrade procedure, depending on which

system component is upgraded. You will have to reconnect and re-login in those cases.

• Wait at least two minutes after pressing Start. Do not assume the upload did not work. There

is no status indicator bar to show the progress of the upload. The upload could simply be

slow.

• Each file that is distributed upgrades a different component of the system. Therefore, be sure

to apply all files you are given as part of an upgrade. The system knows what to do with

each file you give it, and they are checked for validity before being applied.

System Reboot

After installing new firmware, you may want to reboot.
