3.7 New firmware with LANCOM FirmSafe
The software for devices from LANCOM is constantly being further developed.
We have fitted the devices with a flash ROM which makes child's play of
updating the operating software so that you can enjoy the benefits of new
features and functions. No need to change the EPROM, no need to open up
the case: simply load the new release and you're away.
3.7.1 This is how LANCOM FirmSafe works
LANCOM FirmSafe makes the installation of the new software safe: The used
firmware is not simply overwritten but saved additionally in the device as a

immediately. The following situations can result:

all is well.
