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) via TFTP or via the serial port. You can also update the unit’s internal web interface (*COB) via TFTP.

Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest versions and release notes.
