how to update the ﬁ rmware

To perform a ﬁ rmware update

Make sure that the main menu is open.

Press U to update the USB ﬂ ash drive.

Update Service with kvm-tec Switching Manager Demoversion ....

This is a comfortable update management for your switching system.

You can update all extenders at the same time. The update is performed in the background and in a second step the

units are rebooting with the new ﬁ rmware.

Only a short time is needed for the second step.

ATTENTION ! Only when the bar is grey, the update is ﬁ nished.

To view the ﬁ rmware version

Make sure the main menu is open. The currently installed ﬁ rmware version of the remote and local units are

displayed (e.g. ‘4267’) and check that you have the same ﬁ rmware on both units.

Ways to update the ﬁ rmware version ....

There are four ways to perform an update:

o USB - are all cables connected

o in case of issues check the ﬁ rmware version (download for the newest ﬁ rmware kvm-tec.com/support )

if everything is working ﬁ ne - perfect

Tipps from our engineers for engineers

• reduce the setting of your system and set up only one local and one remote at the same place

• connect the monitor directly to the PC - does the monitor display an image ? (follow the mentioned steps

from above)

• LED status is red or blinking - this can be a cable problem - try to get a short patchcable and to connect

the units and be sure that it´s not a cross - over cable

• USB problems with mouse and keyboard - please try a different type of mouse and keyboard

Further expert tipps for issues

• Adapter - our units are transmitting DVI signals. If you are using adapters try a PC with DVI signal

• PC - please try another machine

• If you have more sets please make a cross check and change of the units
