Auto Self Upgrade: The IP KVM unit includes
an innovative feature allowing it to upgrade
itself over the internet. Simply click on the
button labeled Upgrade to Latest and the unit
will use the internet to download the latest
version of the system firmware and then install
it.
If it cannot access the Internet directly (perhaps
due to a web proxy or other firewalls), then a
page will be shown that prompts your browser
to download the required file. Save this file to
disk and then manually upload it as described
in the next section.
Manual Upload: Enter the name of the
firmware file that you downloaded from
StarTech.com into the field provided (or use the
“Browse” button). Press Start Upload and wait
until a successful upload message is shown.
NOTE: Remember the following during the
firmware upgrade:
• Do NOT turn off power to unit before this
operation completes successfully.
• The unit will sometimes reboot as part of the
upgrade procedure, depending on which
system component is being upgraded. You
will have to reconnect and re-login in those cases.
• Wait at least two minutes after pressing Start. Do not assume the upload did not
work, the upload could simply be slow.
• Each distributed file upgrades a different component of the system. Be sure to apply
all files provided as part of an upgrade. The system knows what to do with each file
you give it, and they are checked for validity before being applied.
Auto Self Upgrade: Clicking the Upgrade to latest button will automatically download
and install necessary revisions. To download upgrades for manual installation, please
click on Get latest version.
