6 - Query the X-DVI modules

Click the Query Unit button to confirm that communication is possible with

the X-DVI modules and to establish the existing firmware details.

If the application cannot contact the X-DVI modules, re-check the

connection cable and click the Advanced... button to check that the correct

serial port is being used on the upgrade computer. Change the serial port

within the Advanced section, if necessary.

7 - Select the upgrade file to be used

From the main KVM Firmware Uploader dialog, click the Browse... button

and select the upgrade file:

X-DVI_x.xx.txt

where x.xx is the firmware version.

The upgrade file details will be displayed within the dialog.

IMPORTANT: Check that the 'Intended Target Units' field matches the

'Unit Connected' field. If these fields do not match then you may have an

incorrect upgrade file, check with Adder Technology Ltd before proceeding.

Check also that the 'New firmware version' is greater than the 'Current

firmware version'.

8 - Commence the upgrade

To begin the upgrade process, click the Upload Now button. The progress

will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide not to continue with

the upload at any stage, click the Abort button; response to this is usually

immediate, however, during an erase command, the upload will not be

aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).

The remote module will upgrade its own firmware and also pass upgrade

code via the link cable to the local module.

9 - Cycle the power

Disconnect the power. Disconnect the remote module from the upgrade

computer and return switch 1 on the remote module to its OFF position. Re-

connect the modules in their normal manner. When the power is re-applied

the X-DVI modules will operate using the new firmware.

INSTALLATION ADVICE

– Connect the supplied protective ferrites at

each end of the CATx link cable and avoid disconnecting the CATx link

cable whilst the product is operational (powered on).

Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades

The upgrade program rewrites the X-DVI firmware code. If the upgrade process

is interrupted then the X-DVI modules will have invalid code and will not be

able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process

is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by

performing another upgrade.

WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable

results and may damage your X-DVI modules or computing equipment.
