Firmware can be easily upgraded via web page. This section describes the upgrade procedures.
Figure 5-33 Update Firmware
The IP-KVM is a complete standalone computer. The software it runs is called firmware. The
firmware of the IP-KVM can be updated remotely in order to install new functionality or special
features.
A new firmware update is a binary file which will be sent to you by email or which you can
download from the supplier web site. If the firmware file is compressed (file suffix .zip) then you
must unzip it before you can proceed. Under the Windows operating system you may use WinZip
from http://www.winzip.com/ for decompression. Other operating systems might provide a program
called unzip.
Before you can start updating the firmware of your IP-KVM the new uncompressed firmware file
has to be accessible on the system that you use for connecting to the IP-KVM.
Warning !!!
This process is not reversible and might take few minutes. During this
upgrading process, we should not disconnect the power or the Ethernet
cable, since it may causes upgrade failure and destroy the image in Flash
memory.
