16 .3 firmware upgrade
Periodically Belkin releases firmware upgrades for its KVM-over-IP

devices and the OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager. These upgrades can be

found at www.belkin.com in the Support section. Through the OmniView

IP 5000HQ Manager, an administrator can upgrade the firmware of the

OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager and all connected KVM-over-IP devices,

making it unnecessary to upgrade each device individually.
16 .3 .1 Upgrading the KVM-over-IP device firmware
To upgrade the firmware version of all connected KVM-over-IP devices

or the OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager:

1. Obtain the latest firmware version from Belkin.

2. Save the file on the client computer.

3. Log in to the OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager Web interface.

5. Press “Browse” and locate the upgrade file.

6. Press

. OmniView IP 5000HQ loads the firmware and

initiates the upgrade.

When upgrading KVM-over-IP devices, the firmware uploads to five

KVM-over-IP devices at a time. KVM-over-IP device status changes to

“Uploading” and then to “Rebooting” as the firmware finishes upgrading.

The uploaded firmware is stored in the OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager.

Every new KVM-over-IP device connected to the system is automatically

upgraded to this firmware.

When upgrading the OmniView IP 5000HQ Manager, the OmniView IP

5000HQ Manager reboots automatically. Log in again.
