D: Updating Software
D.1 Obtaining Software
Current software files (MPS.SYS for MPS100, LPS.SYS for LPS1-T and LPS1-2) are
available on the distribution CD. You can obtain software updates and release notes for the
MPS from the Lantronix World Wide Web site (www.lantronix.com), or by using
anonymous FTP through the Internet (ftp.lantronix.com).
D.1.1 Via the Web
The latest version of MPS.SYS can be downloaded from the Lantronix Web site. At the
time of this writing, the exact location of the files on the re-designed site was unkown.
Note: As a result of Netscape Navigator’s configuration, it may try to open
the file as an ASCII text file. To avoid this, hold down the shift key
when choosing the software file.
D.1.2 Via FTP
The MPS software resides on the Lantronix FTP server (ftp.lantronix.com). Most of these
files are binary data, so the binary option must be used to transfer the files. All released files
are in the pub directory. Always download the README file in the pub directory before
downloading anything else; it contains a list of available software files.
To log into the FTP server, enter a username of anonymous and enter your full email
address as the password. The following text will be displayed:
