Maintaining the Environment
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your SwitchView IP Viewer
environment functioning properly. Periodically, you will need to update the
SwitchView IP with the latest firmware so you can take advantage of new
features as they are added. To streamline this process, you can download and
run the Update utility. Also available for download is the SwitchView IP Find
utility, a tool to help you identify where SwitchView IPs are installed on
your network.
Updating the SwitchView IP firmware
Changes to the SwitchView IP firmware image are periodically available on
the Avocent web site. A new firmware image is uploaded to the SwitchView IP
using the Update program. Visit the Avocent web site at www.avocent.com/
support to download the latest firmware image and Update program,
along with SwitchView IP release notes, tools and product information.
To check the SwitchView IP firmware version:
1.
From a web browser Address bar, type the IP address of the SwitchView
IP you want to access and click Enter.
2. Log in to the SwitchView IP Web Server as admin or as a user with
administrator rights. For more information, see Configuring Users and
Access Rights in Chapter 4.
3. From the Global Settings window, under Category, click Versions to
display the firmware version information.
