USING YOUR SWITCH

To start the update process, you must run the AutoUpdate application by selecting
“AutoUpdate.exe” from the start menu, or a desktop shortcut.

The first screen of the AutoUpdate application will prompt the user to select an
automatic or manual update. You should generally select automatic, unless you have
a specific reason to do otherwise. An automatic update will check the firmware on
the Switch and compare the versions installed against the latest versions available;
if there are newer versions, the application will download the new firmware from the
Internet and transfer it into the Switch. Then the user needs to power-cycle the KVM
Switch(es), to complete the firmware installation. The manual update works similarly,
but the user needs to acquire the correct update file manually.

Note: Before updating the Switch, make sure that AutoScan is off and IntelliView
is not displayed on the console. This will reduce the level of extraneous activity in
the Switch.
