33. Upgrading the NetCommander IP Firmware
Connecting the RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable
To run the firmware upgrade software, you must first connect the RS-232
Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between the B070-016-19-IP and a separate
computer (One not connected to the KVM switch) containing the firmware
upgrade software. Note: Each cascaded KVM Switch must be updated
separately. When you're done updating the first KVM Switch, attach the
RS-232 Serial Firmware Upgrade cable between each cascaded KVM and
the Update Computer. For the firmware 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 firmware upgrade. When password
security is turned on, the only person who can turn the Serial Port option On
and Off is the administrator.

Installing the Software

To install the KVM Switch Update software:
1. Download KVM update software from www.tripplite.com
2. Run the software.
If there is no firmware upgrade currently available, there will be nothing posted on www.tripplite.com
Starting and Configuring the KVM Update
1. Start the KVM Update software. The KVM Update window appears
(see figure below).
The table below explains the functions of the buttons and boxes in the KVM
Switch Update window.
2. From the Options menu choose Com Port. The Com Port box appears
(see figure below).
3. Select the COM Port of the Upgrade Computer that you connected the
RS232 Serial Firmware Upgrade Cable to. If it is not connected to the COM
Port you've chosen, the Firmware Upgrade will fail.
Verifying the Version Numbers
Before upgrading your firmware, verify that you are not already using the
most current firmware. To do this, obtain the firmware version number
using the steps below, and compare it with the firmware version number on
www.tripplite.com. You'll also need to verify the hardware version number
of your KVM Switch and SIU(s), in the case that the firmware upgrade is
not compatible with your current unit. Compatible hardware version
numbers will also be posted on www.tripplite.com. In the event that
your KVM Switch or SIU(s) are not compatible with the firmware
upgrade, you will not be able to install the firmware upgrade unless you
buy a new unit that is compatible with the upgrade.
