Only hardware version 5 and newer Avocent HMX Manager Models are compatible with the firmware upgrade to version 6.0.0.74 or above. If you have both a 4.x.x.x HMX Manager (MPN: 520-729-xxx) and a 5.x.x.x HMX Manager (MPN: 520-882-xxx), please contact Avocent Technical Support to get firmware that allows the Managers to work together in a Hub and Spoke configuration.
HMX Transmitter and Receiver
Once HMX transmitter or HMX receiver is upgraded to a .30 version of firmware (either 4.30.0.18 or 6.30.x.x), you cannot downgrade that unit to a “non .30” release. For example, once upgraded to 4.30.0.18 a customer cannot downgrade to 4.0.0.18 or 4.10.0.18.
Software downloads are .ZIP files which must be extracted before use.
