The firmware on the Server Remote Control is field upgradable. To
upgrade to another version, login as admin.
Auto Self Upgrade
The IP KVM switch includes an innovative feature allowing it 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 it 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.
Manual Upload
Enter the name of the firmware file that you downloaded from StarTech.
com 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 the unit before this operation completes
successfully.
• 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, the upload could simply be slow.
• Each distributed file upgrades a different component of the system.
Be sure to apply all files provided 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.
