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.

Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface

To download new firmware from a computer:

1.Use a TFTP client to put a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal web interface).

Note: TFTP requires the .rom (binary) version of the unit's internal operational code.

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.

5.In the Remote File field, enter the current internal operational code or WEB1 to WEB6 for the internal web interface.
