The Firmware Upgrade Utility
GCE611U and GCE616U have a Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility which provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the firmware. The new firmware upgrade packages
are posted on our web site as new firmware revisions become available. Please check the
web site regularly to find the latest firmware and information relating to it.
Before You Begin
To prepare for the Firmware Upgrade, do the following:
1. Using a computer connected to the Local Unit, go to the product page on the IOGEAR
web site. Click on the “Driver Download” at the left side of the product page which leads
you to the firmware and driver download page.
2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the most recent), and
download it to your computer.
3. Use a Serial RS-232 cable to connect to the COM port on your computer to the RS-232
port of the Local Unit.
Note: The Serial RS-232 cable is not provided in the package.
4. Make sure both Local and Remote units are connected by the Cat5e cable and Link, then
unplug the Local unit’s power adapter.
5. In the Local Unit’s rear panel, turn the FW Upgrade switch On. This enables both the Local
and Remote Units to operate in Firmware Upgrade Mode when the Local Unit is powered
on again.
6. Plug in the Local Unit’s power adapter to power it on.
