Zeb,   The file did not work because it was the Analog version of the firmware update. Do not ask me what the difference is but I used their digital version and I was able to upgrade my firmware. That being said, even with the firmware update the problem persist of being unable to open a KVM session with Java 8.  Josh,   Is there a place to download the security certificate and upload it manually into Java?
I have two KVM 2162DS remote switches, and I cna log into them, however when I click to connect to a server I receive the following message:  Your security setting have blocked an application signed with an expired or not yet valid certificate from running.  This happened after upgrading my Windows 7 machine to Java 8.  I added the URL for the switches to the exception list under the Java control panel, and get the same result.  Any other suggestions?
