10. 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/support/downloads) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com/pub).

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.

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

3.In the Port field, enter 69.

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