Emerson AMX5000 Analog KVM Switch Firmware 4.0.0.20 Description

This package provides the necessary installation files of Emerson AMX5000 Analog KVM Switch Firmware version 4.0.0.20.

Fixes:

- Support for IPv6. The AMX switches can now be assigned IPv6 addresses and can now be managed via AMWorks software using IPv6. When using this firmware, the following features are not supported.
- User login authentication via LDAP.
- Configuration and Control via SNMP.
- Multicast/UDP subnet discovery when Discovering Devices in AMWorks.

Installation steps:

1. Download the firmware file.
2. From your newly installed AMWorks software, select ‘Admin Tools - Network Settings’ and ensure those settings have been configured correctly. Previous versions of the AMX switch firmware only support IPv4. So the AMX switch update must be done via AMWorks software using IPv4. (After the update you can switch to using IPv6 on all AMX switches and AMWorks software).
3. Use the ‘Admin Tools – Add Device’ dialog to discover each AMX switch.
4. In the AMWorks software, select 'Admin Tools - Firmware Update' from the menu.
5. Select all of the AMX5000, AMX5010, AMX5020 or AMX5030 switches in your configuration. You must update each type separately.
6. From the ‘Admin Tools - Firmware Update’ dialog, select the update file for the AMX50xx switches." Make sure you select the file that contains revision 4.0.0.20.
7. Select "Begin Update," and all firmware updates selected will begin. You may update all of your AMX50xx switches of the same type in parallel, for fastest results. It will take about 5 minutes per AMX50xx switch for the firmware updates to complete.

About Analog KVM Switch Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
