4. Updating Protocol (Firmware)
4.1 Protocol Firmware
You can update the unit's internal operational code to a newer revision, or change the code to
operate with a specific vendor.
The UDS-10-IAP was designed to allow loading of vendor specific protocol firmware. This
firmware takes the place of the IAP Standard Tunnel Protocol. Vendor specific protocols and
the software tools needed to load them can be found on the software CD.
You can obtain the most up-to-date protocol firmware and release notes for the unit from the
Lantronix Web site (www.lantronix.com
) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com).
Once you load a vendor specific protocol, you must reference the user manual associated with
that protocol, since many of the setup and configuration dialogs will be changed. Some
features, such as web pages, may not be available with certain vendor protocols.
Note: If you change the protocol to a vendor specific protocol, you MUST reference the
associated protocol manual for setup and configuration information. The menu options
shown in this manual are for Standard Tunnel Protocol.
4.2 Reloading Protocol Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): via
DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), via TFTP, via another unit, or via the serial port. You can
also update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) via TFTP or DeviceInstaller.
The firmware files are located on the software CD in the firmware folder. Here is a list of
typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest versions and release
notes.
