5. Updating Firmware
5.1 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
) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com).
5.2 Reloading Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): via XPort™
Installer (the preferred way), via TFTP, or via the serial port. You can also update the unit's
internal Web interface (*.COB) via TFTP or XPort™ Installer.
Here is a list of typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest
versions and release notes.
