33. Upgrading the NetCommander IP Firmware (Continued)
Connecting the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable
To run the fi rmware upgrade software, you must fi rst connect the RS-232
Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between the B072-016-1-IP and a separate
computer (One not connected to the KVM switch) containing the fi rmware
upgrade software. Note: Each cascaded KVM Switch must be updated
separately. When you’re done updating the fi rst KVM Switch, attach the
RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between each cascaded KVM and
the Update Computer. For the fi rmware upgrade to take place, the Serial
Port option in the OSD General Settings Menu must be set to On. If it is set
to Off, you will not be able to perform a fi rmware upgrade. When password
security is turned on, the only person who can turn the Serial Port option On
and Off is the administrator.
