G-1000 User’s Guide

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the G-1000 and the external filename refers to the filename not on the G-1000, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) will vary. After uploading new firmware see the ZyNOS F/W Version field in Menu 24.2.1 – System Maintenance – Information to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
