10: Updating Firmware

To recover firmware:

1.Connect the COM interface of your PC to serial port 1 of the WiBox 2100E device server.

2.Start DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click the OK button.

3.From the Tools menu, select Advanced/Recover Firmware. The Serial Port Firmware Upgrade window displays.

4.For Port on PC, enter the COM port on the PC that is connected to the serial port of the Lantronix unit.

5.For Device Model, be sure the appropriate WiBox 2100E device displays.

6.For Firmware File, click the Browse button and go to the location where the firmware file resides.

7.Note: Make sure the WiBox 2100E on which you are recovering firmware is connected to this selected port on your PC.

8.Click the OK button to download the file.

9.When prompted, reset the device. Status messages and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen show the progress of the file transfer. When the file transfer completes, the message “Successful, Click OK to Close” appears.

10.Click the OK button to complete this procedure.

Note: For more information, see Recovering Firmware in the DeviceInstaller online Help.

WLAN Country Setting

Due to regulations, the country-specific setting has been removed from the setup menu and Web Manager. However, we provide a separate utility for changing the Country/Zone setting. The utility is called SetZone and is included in the package. It is also available for download from the Lantronix web site.

The syntax is: SetZone <IP address> [<zone abbreviation>]

Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only. Following are valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with IEEE802.11b/g zones:

US=United States

CA=Canada

FR=France

SP=Spain

JP=Japan

OT=Others, such as Europe (excluding France), Asia, Africa, and Australia
