Connecting the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable
To install the KVM Switch Update software:
1. Download KVM update software from www.tripplite.com
2. Run the software.
If there is no firmware upgrade currently available, there will be nothing posted on www.tripplite.com
Installing the Software
To run the firmware upgrade software, you must first connect the RS-232 Serial Firmware
Upgrade cable between the B070-016-19 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 firm-
ware upgrade. When password security is turned on, the only person who can turn the Serial
Port option On and Off is the administrator.
