on which you are going to perform the KVM Switch firmware uploading. The
correct firmware-upgrade procedures using the Windows and Mac upgrade utilities
are described below. Please follow the instructions to complete your
firmware upgrade.
The firmware upgrade is performed through port 1 of the KVM Switch, so the KVM
cables that are connected to port 1 should remain connected. Unplug all remaining
KVM cables and peripheral cables connecting the KVM Switch to your computers
or peripherals. You can leave the power cable connected to the KVM Switch. The
keyboard, mouse, and monitor should be disconnected from the KVM Switch and
plugged in directly to the host computer.
The computer that is connected to port 1 of the KVM Switch will be performing the
upgrade and will be referenced as the “Host PC” for this process.
