3.7 New firmware with LANCOM FirmSafe

The software for devices from LANCOM is constantly being further developed.

We have fitted the devices with a flash ROM which makes child's play of

updating the operating software so that you can enjoy the benefits of new

features and functions. No need to change the EPROM, no need to open up

the case: simply load the new release and you're away.

LANCOM FirmSafe makes the installation of the new software safe: The used

firmware is not simply overwritten but saved additionally in the device as a

second firmware.
