The Firmware Upgrade Utility

The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the CS1942DP / CS1944DP’s
firmware.

The Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for
each device. New firmware upgrade packages are posted on our website as new
firmware revisions become available. Check the website regularly to find the
latest packages and information relating to them:

Before You Begin

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation, go to the

ATEN Support & Download site and choose the model name that relates to
your device (CS1942DP / CS1944DP) to get a list of available Firmware
Upgrade Packages.

2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the

most recent), and download it to your computer.

3. Disconnect the CS1942DP / CS1944DP from your KVM installation and

power it off. Connect the USB cable’s Type A USB connector to a USB
port on your computer.

4. At the other end of the USB cable, connect the USB Type B connector to

the Type B USB port in the Port 1 KVM section.

Note:

The USB cable’s USB Type B connector can be connected to any

KVM port section, but the Port Selection pushbutton in Step 5, below, must
be Port 1.

5. Press and hold the Mode pushbutton. While holding the button, connect

the power adapter to the CS1942DP / CS1944DP to enter Firmware
Upgrade Mode. The front panel LEDs flash together to indicate Firmware
Upgrade Mode is in effect.
