5.20.1 Matrix Update
The firmware of the matrix can be updated in this menu.
You have the following option to access the menu:
Java Tool
Only use computers to update the matrix that are not integrated into the
KVM extender / matrix setup.
Ensure that the computer used for the update is not set into stand by
mode or sleep mode during the update.
Ensure that your configuration has been saved externally before you start
the update.
For reasons of network stability, an update via WLAN is not
recommended.
Preparation
Take the following steps in order to be prepared for the matrix update:
1. Save the matrix configuration externally (see Chapter 5.14.4, Page
176).
2. Open Extras > Options in the menu bar and insert in the setting
Firmware Directory the directory from which the update files should
be standardly sourced.
3. Put all hot spare boards into the matrix.
4. Activate the Syslog function (see Chapter 3.9, Page 44) for the
monitoring of the update, if unlocked via license key.
Ensure that all USB 2.0 extenders are only connected to the provided
ports (fixed ports) before you start the matrix update. Non-compliance may
affect the stability of the update.
