Obtaining Software

Current software files (ETS*.SYS) are available on the distribution CD. You can obtain software updates and release notes for the ETS from the Lantronix World Wide Web site (www.lantronix.com), or by using anonymous FTP through the Internet (ftp.lantronix.com).

Via the Web

The latest version of ETS*.SYS can be downloaded from the Lantronix Web site: http://lantronix.com/support/download/index.html.

Note: As a result of Netscape Navigator’s configuration, it may try to open the file as an ASCII text file. To avoid this, hold down the shift key when choosing the software file.

Via FTP

The ETS software resides on the Lantronix FTP server (ftp.lantronix.com). Most of these files are binary data, so the binary option must be used to transfer the files. All released files are in the pub directory. Always download the README file in the pub directory before downloading anything else; it contains a list of available software files.

To log into the FTP server, enter a username of anonymous and enter your full email address as the password. The following text will be displayed:
