Adder Technology 1000 User Manual

  To begin the upgrade process, click the Upload Now button. The progress 

will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide not to continue with 
the upload at any stage, click the Abort button; response to this is usually 
immediate, however, during an erase command, the upload will not be 
aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).

  Disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the AdderView CATx 

1000 will operate using the new firmware.

Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the AdderView CATx 1000 firmware code. If the 
upgrade process is interrupted then the AdderView CATx 1000 will have invalid 
code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure 
that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade 
may be rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is 
interrupted accidentally then you should press and release the front panel reset 
button without re-powering the unit. Running faulty or partially upgraded code 
may have unpredictable results and may damage your AdderView CATx 1000 or 
computing equipment. 
WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable 
results and may damage your AdderView CATx 1000 or computing equipment.

  The results of the unit query will be displayed in the Device/Dongle Selection 

dialog:  

  The type and firmware revision of each discovered CAM will be displayed 

alongside the port number to which it is connected.

  Using the Device/Dongle Selection dialog you can determine which items 

should receive a firmware upgrade:

•  Use the 

Program / Verify Main Unit option to include or exclude the 

AdderView CATx 1000 unit itself.

•  Use the Select All CAMs option to upgrade every discovered CAM.
•  Use the Select All USB / PS2 / Sun CAMs options to upgrade only CAMs 

of a certain type.

•  Use the individual port options to select particular CAM devices to 

upgrade.

  When the required options have been selected, click OK.
  Note: Approximate upgrade times are: AdderView CATx 1000 unit = 4½ 

  From the main KVM Firmware Uploader dialog, click the Browse... button 

and select the upgrade file:

  AV1000_x.xx.txt
  where x.xx is the firmware version. 
  The upgrade file details will be displayed within the dialog.
