Lindy MC5-IP 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).

   Click switch 1 on the rear of the MC5 to the OFF position and disconnect 

the power. When the power is re-applied the MC5 will operate using the 
new firmware.

Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the MC5 firmware code. If the upgrade process is 
interrupted then the MC5 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 
immediately repeat the upgrade process without moving switch 1 from the 
upgrade (ON) position. Switch 1 forces the MC5 into flash upgrade mode 
and prevents the upgraded code from being run. Running faulty or partially 
upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your MC5 or 
computing equipment. 
WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable 
results and may damage your MC5 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 

MC5 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: MC5 unit = 41⁄2 minutes; each 

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

and select the upgrade file:

   MC5 24 port:   MC5_Vxxx 
   where Vxxx is the upgrade file version number. 
   The upgrade file details will be displayed within the dialog.
