Step 1
Before proceeding with the Firmware Update you will need to ensure that the Computer
being used for the update process is ready. If you are running Windows 2000 or XP you
will need to install an NT Direct Port Access Update prior to running the Flash Update.
The NTPDA.exe file Update Utility can be downloaded from the same location as the
Firmware Update files. Once downloaded, the file should be unzipped and the
‘Setup.exe’ file run in order to install. You will be prompted to reboot your system to
complete the process.
Step 2
Disconnect any Computers from the KVM then power it on. Set the Dip Switches
according to the Firmware about to be used. The Pro 2 KVM has four flash Dip
Switches. Listed below are the appropriate dipswitch settings for each Firmware type.
16-Port Pro 2 KVMs have two sets of Mouse and Keyboard Firmware and each needs to
be flashed separately. The same Firmware is flashed twice in effect.

Step 3
Plug the supplied Firmware Update Cable in to the (DB25) Parallel Port of a stand-alone
Computer (i.e. one that is not currently connected to and controlled by the KVM) and
connect the other end of the Cable into the (RJ45) Firmware Upgrade Port of the KVM.
Step 4
Now that everything is setup the KVM can be flash upgraded. Double click the Icon of
the Firmware Update File that you downloaded.
Once open, click on the button in the KVM Firmware Update Window.
Should you receive the following Error Message then it means that the data cannot be
sent to the KVM in order to Flash Update it.
To resolve this click ‘OK’ and ‘OK’ again. Unplug Power from the KVM, then unplug the
Flash Update Cable. Wait 10 seconds. Now plug the Flash Update Cable in first,
followed by the Power Cable. Repeat Step 4.

Step 5
Providing the Flash Upgrade is being performed successfully, you should see a
Window with a Progress Bar similar to that shown below.
Step 6
Once the Firmware Upgrade has been successfully completed an extra Window will
appear with a message to this effect. Simply close this Window.
Next, unplug both the Flash Update Cable from both KVM and the Computer, followed
by the power cable to the KVM.
The Dip Switches should then be returned to their original setting – all Dip Switches
set (up) to the ‘Off’ position.
The KVM can now be powered back on by connecting the Power cable back to the
Power Jack.
The Unit should beep once to indicate power has been added. Once successfully
powered any Computers can be re-connected to the KVM.
N.B.
Should the unit emit a persistent beep after the Flash Update process then it is
indicating that the Firmware has been in some way corrupted. The unit should be re-
flashed using an original Firmware on the same Dip-Switch setting as was last used.
