Adapter Cable Upgrade

Introduction

The firmware for the KA9520, KA9570, and KA9130 KVM Adapter Cables
can also be upgraded. Check the web site regularly to find the latest packages
and information relating to them:

Before You Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our

Internet support site and choose the model name that relates to your device
to get a list of available Firmware Upgrade Packages.

2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the

most recent), and download it to your computer.

Note: The upgrade files for the three adapter cables aren’t packaged

separately. A single upgrade package provides the upgrade files for
all of them.

3. Shut down all of the computers - but not the Stations - on your KVM

installation.

4. From your KVM switch console, bring up the OSD (see page 21) and

select the F4ADM function.

5. Scroll down to ADAPTER UPGRADE. Press [Enter].

6. In the screen that comes up, press [Y] to invoke Upgrade Mode (see

page 31).

Note: 1. A message appears reminding you to connect an adapter cable.

The message appears even if you have adapter cables connected.
If all the adapter cables you want to upgrade have already been
connected, simply ignore the message.

2. The upgrade takes place via the Cat 5 cable that connects the

adapter cable to the KVM switch - so there is no firmware
upgrade cable to attach.

3. All the connected adapter cables get upgraded during a single

upgrade session.
