The Firmware Upgrade Utility

The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the CS1642 / CS1644’s firmware.

The Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for

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
(CS1642 / CS1644) 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.

3. Use the Firmware Upgrade Cable provided to connect a COM port on

your computer to the Firmware Upgrade Port of your switch.
