Upgrade the IONMM and/or x4120 Firmware
Occasionally changes must be made to the firmware version that is currently stored in IONMM or x4120
memory. This could occur because of features, fixes or enhancements being added.
Note:
Lantronix recommends that before completing any steps on an install that you verify that the
management module has the latest firmware version installed and running. The latest firmware version is

Remote Management in an Unmanaged Chassis
ION x4120 Version 1.2.6 was released August 12, 2016. This release added:
•
Support for the management of a C4120 when installed in an unmanaged ION chassis. Management
is supported by another C4120 installed in a managed chassis when the two are linked together via a
fiber cable. On initial power up, additional time, approximately 1min & 10sec, is now required for the
cards to be displayed in the management interface. This time is needed for the cards to determine if
they are installed in a managed or an unmanaged chassis.
•
Support for remote firmware upgrades of a C4120 in an unmanaged chassis. Remote firmware
upgrades in an unmanaged chassis is supported only after a factory bootloader upgrade is
performed. Remote firmware upgrades in an unmanaged chassis can take up to 3 minutes to
transfer the file, reboot, search for management module, and display card in management interface.
