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.

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.
