CAUTION
Do not reset, power-cycle, or reboot LanProbe immediately after the download
process. Doing this may cause your probe to be damaged. After the firmware file
has been downloaded to the probe, there will be a brief period (approximately 1
minute) while the probe is copying the firmware to the flash EPROM.
After the download process is complete, LanProbe reboots and starts running the
new firmware.
If an error occurs during the download process, LanProbe returns to the Main
Menu without storing the new firmware to memory.
