Recovering the Firmware Using the Serial Port and DeviceInstaller
If for some reason the firmware is damaged, you can recover the firmware file by using
DeviceInstaller to download the *.ROM file over the serial port.
To recover firmware:
1. Start DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message
displays. Select an adapter and click OK.
2. From the Tools menu, select Recover Firmware. The Serial Port Firmware Recovery
window displays.
3. For Port on PC, enter the COM port on the PC that is connected to the serial port of the
Lantronix unit.
4. For Device Model, be sure the appropriate XPort device is shown (XPort-03/-04 or
XPort-05 modules).
5. For Firmware File, click the Browse button and go to the location where the firmware file
resides.
Note: Make sure the XPort module on which you are recovering firmware is connected to this
selected port on your PC.
6. Click OK to download the file.
7. 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.
8. Click the OK button to complete this procedure.
Note For more information, see Recovering Firmware in the DeviceInstaller online Help.
