The Serial Ports menu allows you to manage and connect to devices connected to the
unit using the R-Port on the IP KVM switch.
Date and time are stored without consideration for time zone. If you are controlling
multiple sites in different time zones, we recommend you use UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time, also sometimes called GMT or Zulu) for all machines. If the
computer you are using to view this page knows the correct time, just press the button
to set the time and date to the same time as your browser.
The firmware on the Server Remote Control is field upgradable. To upgrade to another
version, login as admin.
Auto Self Upgrade
The IP KVM switch 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
go out to the Internet and 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 causes your browser to download the
required file. Save this file to disk and then upload it as described in the next section,
Manual Upload.
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 the unit before this operation completes • successfully.
• The unit will sometimes reboot as part of the upgrade procedure, • depending on
which system component is 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.
