Warning
This process is not reversible and might take some minutes. Make sure the
IP-KVM switch's power supply will not be interrupted during the update
process, because this may cause an unusable card.

Thirdly, after the firmware has been stored, the panel will request you to reset the
IP-KVM switch manually. Half a minute after the reset, the IP-KVM switch will run
with the new firmware version and should be accessible. However, you are
requested to login once again.
Warning
The three-stage firmware update process and complete consistency check are
making a mistake in updating the firmware almost impossible. However, only
experienced staff members or administrators should perform a firmware
update. Make sure the IP-KVM switch's power supply will not be interrupted!
6.7.4 Unit Reset
Figure 6-38 Unit Reset
This section allows you to reset specific parts of the device. This involves the both
keyboard and mouse, the video engine and the IP-KVM switch itself. Resetting the
card itself is mainly needed to activate a newly updated firmware. It will close all
current connections to the administration console and to the Remote Console.
The whole process will take about half a minute. Resetting sub devices (e.g. video
engine) will take some seconds only and does not result in closing connections. To
reset a certain IP-KVM switch functionality click on the button Reset as displayed in
Figure 6-38.
