KVM.net II Manager. These upgrades can be found at www.minicom.com in the
Support section. Through the KVM.net II Manager an Administrator can upgrade
the firmware of the KVM.net II Manager and all connected IP devices making it
unnecessary to upgrade each device individually.

When upgrading IP devices the firmware uploads to 5 IP devices at a time – IP

upgrading (see page 38). The uploaded firmware is stored in the KVM.net II
Manager. Every new IP device connected to the system is automatically upgraded
to this firmware.

automatically. Login again.
