USING YOUR SWITCH
Before the AutoUpdate begins, a warning screen will be displayed, informing the
user of the risks involved in proceeding with the update, and actions that should be
avoided while the update is in progress.
Note: It is crucial that the PC and the Switch remain powered-on, and the USB cable
remains connected to the PC or the Switch during the update. The user should also
avoid using the PC in ways that might interfere with the operations of the AutoUpdate
application. If the update process is disturbed, the Switch could become nonfunctional.
If the update is interrupted, but the Switch is still on, you should be able to restart
the update (you may have to restart the AutoUpdate application).

USING YOUR SWITCH
When the update is started, a dialog pops up, displaying the file transfer progress
for each sub-device, and for the Switch, as a whole. If multiple devices have been
selected, the dialog remains up and repeats the update process for each device.
When the update is complete, the "Next" button will become active, allowing the
user to complete the update.
Note: During the AutoUpdate file transfer process, the 7-segment LEDs will display
"AU", indicating AutoUpdate is in progress.
Updating your KVM Manually with a File from a Local Disk
If you select a manual update, the AutoUpdate application will still scan for devices
that can be updated, but it will not look for updates on the website, so all of the
device check boxes will be empty. The user must input the path to the target update
file (manually, or using the browse button (the ellipsis). If the file is valid, the
"Next" button will become active. Click it to progress to the next screen.
Note: Invalid files include: files that are not made for AutoUpdate; AutoUpdate files
for the incorrect device, language, etc.; or AutoUpdate files that are of the correct
type, but do not contain newer software.
