Upgrading Firmware
The Diva 2440 contains special software, called firmware, that controls its operation. The
firmware is stored in flash memory, which allows it to be replaced by uploading a new version.
Note: Configuration settings are not lost when upgrading the firmware to a newer version.
However, configuration settings may be lost if you upload an older firmware to the device.
The Diva CD-ROM contains firmware that may be newer or older than the version currently
installed on your Diva 2440. In addition, Eicon Networks posts the latest Diva 2440 firmware on
its web site. An added benefit of visiting the Eicon Networks web site is that you can registe r
your purchase.
