This chapter explains how to obtain and update the unit’s firmware.
Obtaining Firmware
Obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the Lantronix
web site (
www.lantronix.com
) 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 TFTP
or by the setup port. You can also update the unit’s internal web interface (*COB) using
TFTP.
Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest
versions and release notes.

Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface
To download new firmware from a computer:
1. Use a TFTP client to send a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's
internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal Web interface).
Note:
TFTP requires the .ROM (binary) version of the unit's internal
operational code.
2. In
the
TFTP server
field, enter the IP address of the unit you are upgrading.
3. Select
Upload
operation and
Binary
format.
4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the
Local file name
field.
5. In
the
Remote file name
field, enter the current internal operational code or
WEB1
for the internal Web interface.
6. Click
the
Upload Now
button to transfer the file to the unit.
