The MultiConnect is controlled by firmware, which is stored in flash memory. The firmware remains
stored in memory when the unit is turned off. Occasionally, Multi-Tech releases an update to the
firmware to add features or improve operation. Since the firmware is stored in flash memory, you can
upgrade it in a few minutes by using the following procedures.
