Firmware Upgrade

Note: In order to perform a rmware upgrade, you

need to use a computer that’s not connected to the KVM.

Step 1

Connect the provided rmware upgrade cable to the rmware upgrade port of the KVM and

the serial port of your computer. Connect power adapter to your power outlet and the KVM.

Step 2

Go to www.iogear.com to download the latest

available rmware or the specic rmware that you

wish to upgrade to.

Step 3

Please make sure all the computers that are connected to the KVM are completely shutdown. Then Invoke Firmware Upgrade Mode. (Please

refer to OSD Operation section)

Step 4

Extract the le with WinRAR or compatible software. Then double click on the execute le to

begin with the Firmware Upgrade Utility.

Step 5

Read the License Agreement and click “I Agree” then click “Next” if you wish to continue with the

rmware upgrade. Otherwise, click “Cancel” to

exit.

Step 6

Choose the correct KVM* that you wish to perform

rmware upgrade from the “Device List” and then

click “Next” to continue. Then the Firmware Upgrade Utility will verify if there is a KVM connected to the

computer by the rmware upgrade cable. (Check

Firmware Version checkbox is optional)

*Note: Please choose MAIN to proceed the

rmware upgrade. IO1 and IO2 are sub layers in the KVMs rmware.

Step 7

If you have checked the “Check Firmware Version” checkbox, then the utility will check the current

rmware that is on your KVM. If the current rmware is newer than the rmware that you wish

to upgrade to, a window will popup and prompt you to ask if you wish to proceed. Simply click “Yes” to start the upgrade and “No” to cancel the upgrade.

Note: If you did not check the “Check Firmware Version” checkbox, utility will perform the upgrade

automatically no matter what version of rmware

you have in the KVM.

Step 8

Warning window may popup again for 2nd part of

the rmware upgrade (IO1).

Step 9

Then another warning window may popup for

3rd part of the rmware upgrade (IO2). (This is for

GCS1716 only)

Step 10

When the rmware upgrade is done, you will see

“Firmware upgrade OK” in the “Status Messages” window. Then simply click “Finish” to complete the

whole rmware upgrade process.

Final Step

Now the KVM will reset by itself and it will be ready for usage after the rest.

Upgrade Fail

If you don’t see “Firmware upgrade OK” in the “Status Messages” window, it means the utility has

failed to complete the rmware successfully. If that

occurs, please do the following:

Step 1

Unplug the power from the KVM. Then, connect

the provided rmware upgrade cable to the rmware upgrade port of the KVM and the serial

port of your computer.

Step 2

Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch to the Recover position (slide to the right). Then, connect power adapter back to the KVM.

Step 3

Repeat the rmware upgrade process. (Please refer

to Firmware Upgrade section)

Step 4

After the rmware upgrade has completed, the KVM

will reset itself. Unplug the power from the KVM after the KVM is reset.

Step 5

Slide the Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch back to the Normal position (slide to the left). Then, connect power adapter back to the KVM.

Final Step

Now the KVM is ready to function again, so you simply reconnect all your computers and console back to the KVM and begin using the KVM.

Restore Factory Default Settings

This restore will change all settings back to default. This will also have administrator and all user accounts removed from the KVM. All port names and setting will also be removed. In other words, everything will be changed as if it is a brand new unit.

Step 1

Unplug the DC connector from the KVM, then

remove the housing of the KVM.

Step 2

Using a jumper cap, short the jumper on the main board labeled J17.

Step 3

Now plug the DC connector back into the DC

jack from the KVM. This will restore the KVM with

factory default rmware.

Step 4

A message will appear on the monitor as below.

Step 5

Unplug DC connector from the KVM, then remove

the jumper and screw the housing back on the KVM.

Final Step
