10: Firmware Upgrades
Obtaining Firmware
You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from
the Lantronix web site (
www.lantronix.com/support/downloads
) or by using
anonymous FTP (
ftp.lantronix.com/pub
).
Reloading Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM):
using DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), using TFTP, or using the serial port.
You can also update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) using TFTP or
DeviceInstaller.
Here are
typical
names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest
versions and release notes.
