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.
Table 10-1. Firmware Files
Please refer to the DeviceInstaller online Help for information about reloading
firmware using DeviceInstaller. The other methods are discussed below.
Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface
To download new firmware from a computer:
1. Use a TFTP client to send 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 TFTP server field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.
3. Select Upload operation and Binary format.
4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.
5. In the Remote file name field, enter the current internal operational code
(U4) or WEB1 to WEB19 for the internal Web interface.
6. Click the Upload Now button to transfer the file to the unit.
