Update the firmware and boot/POST code
You can update the firmware and/or boot/POST code for a Digi device from a file on a computer or
through TFTP. The recommended method is to download the firmware to a local hard drive. TFTP is
supported for those using Unix systems. Both the firmware and the boot/POST code are updated
using the same set of steps. The Digi device automatically determines the type of image to upload.

updated before updating the firmware or the boot/POST code.
