CAUTION Do not reset, power-cycle, or reboot LanProbe immediately after the download process. Doing this may cause your probe to be damaged. After the firmware file has been downloaded to the probe, there will be a brief period (approximately

1 minute) while the probe is copying the firmware to the flash EPROM.

After the download process is complete, LanProbe reboots and starts running the new firmware.

If an error occurs during the download process, LanProbe returns to the Main Menu without storing the new firmware to memory.
