Chapter 11: 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) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com).

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.

Table 11-1. Firmware Files

ROM File	COB
XDRPL_6101.ROM	XDRPL _WEBM_1402.COB

Please refer to the DeviceInstaller online Help for information about reloading firmware using DeviceInstaller. The other methods are discussed below.

Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface

To download new firmware from a computer:

1.Use a TFTP client to send a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's 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.

2.In the TFTP server field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.

3.Select Upload operation and Binary format.

4.Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.

5.In the Remote file name field, enter the current internal operational code (rA for XPress DR+ or IA for XPress DR+W) or WEB1 for the internal web pages.

6.Click the Upload Now button to transfer the file to the unit.
