SOHO KVM Firmware Update Instructions
TSG-UK-2-005 | www.belkin.com | Page 2 of 4
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.zip 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
The KVM will need to be powered in order to perform the Flash Update process. As the
KVM did not come with a Power Supply Unit (9V DC 600mA) it will need to be connected
to at least one computer in order to receive power.
Should you have a suitable power supply then this should be plugged in instead of a
Computer.
Step 3
The KVM Unit itself now needs to be set to Flash Update mode. To do this simply locate
the ‘Flash’ button on the interior of the KVM unit and depress it.

Step 4
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 5
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 (or KVM Cable Kit). 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 or KVM Cable Kit (proving power) to the KVM.
The ‘Flash’ button should then be pressed so that it is in its highest position thus
returning the KVM to a state of normal usage.
The KVM can now be powered back on by connecting the Power Cable back to the
Power Jack or KVM Cable Kit to one of the Computers and the KVM.
The Unit should beep once to indicate power has been added. Once successfully
powered any additional 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 with KVM set again to ‘Flash’ mode.
