Upgrade
Firmware is a combination of software and hardware. Computer chips that have data
or programs recorded on them are firmware. These chips commonly include the
following: ROMs (read-only memory), PROMs (programmable read-only memory),
EPROMs
(erasable programmable read-only memory), it’s same as software, except it
is executed from ROM, and does not disappear when the power is turned off.
Firmware in PROM or EPROM is designed to be updated if necessary through a
software update. You can download firmware updates for Micronet VoIP products from
Micronet web site at Download Center.
You must have a TFTP or FTP server configured and running to perform the download
operation, you can download the TFTP program from Micronet web site.
