Use this page to check the firmware version of 
the Cat.5 Computer Modules attached to a 
selected KVM Switch (i.e. 120208 shown here 
is the FW version of the KVM Switch), and 
perform manual FW upgrades. To do a 
manual FW upgrade of individual Cat.5

be upgraded and press Enter to confirm the 
automatic upgrade. During the upgrade

Firmware Update 

– Stand-alone KVM Switch CAT32 only! 

 

Use the supplied Firmware update cable to connect between the Daisy Chain In port of the 
KVM switch and the DB9 RS-232 port on your computer. 

 

3.4. Troubleshooting 

 
Before calling technical support, please try the following steps for easy troubleshooting. 
 
Stand-alone KVM Switch version: If none of the port LEDs or the display on the KVM Switch are 
illuminated please check that the power adapter is connected and switched on at the mains. 
 
Before you check any further please make sure that all cables are fitted correctly! Do NOT use 
network connections but a dedicated RJ45 cable to connect Computer Modules to the KVM 
Switch RJ45 ports! 
 
If the monitor stays dark please check if the currently selected computer is in sleep mode or 
powered down. If so please wake up the computer in the usual way. 
 
If the monitor picture is not sharp or shows shadows: Please see Section 3.3. Video Setting 
Menu in OSD and adjust the video settings. If this does not help please check the quality of the 
UTP cable between KVM switch and Computer Access Module. Try replacing the cable, or use 
a higher quality cable. 
 
If you have forgotten the password please contact LINDY.
