Choosing the Right Software File 

 

Lantronix intends to provide multiple software files for each SCS model. The software file 
name corresponds to the model name, as shown in the table below.  

Software Files 

Software File Name Models Supported

SCS100.SYS SCS100 

SCS200.SYS SCS200 

SCS400.SYS SCS400 

 

The SCS stores its software in Flash ROM. The software controls the initialization 
process, the operation of the SCS, and the processing of commands. You can update the 
contents of Flash ROM by downloading a new version of the operational software.  

Obtaining Software  

 

You can obtain a current firmware file and release notes for the SCS from the Lantronix 
web site (www.lantronix.com) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com).  

Via the Web  

You can download the latest version of the firmware from the Technical Support area of 
the Lantronix web site. The files are listed as: 

 

SCS100.SYS 

 

SCS200.SYS 

 

SCS400.SYS

 

Note:.

 

Netscape Navigator may try to open the file as an ASCII text file. To avoid 

this, hold down the Shift key when choosing the software file.
