SOHO USB KVM Firmware Update Instructions
Step 1
Before proceeding with the Firmware Update you will need to ensure that the Computer
being used for the update process is ready.
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP you will need to install an NT Direct Port Access
Update prior to running the Flash Update. The NTPDA.zip file Update Utility can be
downloaded from the same location as the Firmware Update files. Once downloaded,
the file should be unzipped and the ‘Setup.exe’ file run in order to install.
You will be prompted to reboot your system to complete the process.
Step 2
The KVM will need to be powered in order to perform the Flash Update process. As the
KVM was supplied with a Power Supply Unit (9V DC 1000mA) we recommend this alone
be connected to the KVM for the duration of the process and any connected computers
removed.
Step 3
Plug the supplied Firmware Update Cable in to the (DB25) Parallel Port of a stand-alone
Computer (i.e. one that is not currently connected to and controlled by the KVM) and
connect the other end of the Cable into the (RJ45) Firmware Upgrade Port of the KVM.
