This chapter explains how to obtain and update the unit’s firmware.

Obtaining Firmware

Obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the Lantronix
Web site (http://www.lantronix.com/) or by using anonymous FTP
(ftp://ftp.lantronix.com/).

Reloading Firmware

There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code. Use
DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), TFTP, another unit, or the serial port. Another
option is to use the unit's internal web interface (CBXW*.COB) using TFTP or
DeviceInstaller.

Following are typical names for the files. Check the Lantronix Web site for the latest
versions and release notes.
