6: Updating Firmware
Obtaining Firmware
You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the
Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com
) or by using anonymous FTP
(ftp.lantronix.com).
Reloading Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): via
DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), via TFTP, or via the serial port using
DeviceInstaller. You can also update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) via
TFTP or DeviceInstaller.
Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest
versions and release notes.

Using TFTP
To download new firmware from a computer:
1. Use a TFTP client to send a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's
internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal Web interface).
Note: TFTP requires the .ROM (binary) version of the unit's internal
operational code.
2. In the TFTP server field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.
3. Select Upload operation and Binary format.
4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.
5. In the Remote file name field, enter the current internal operational code or
WEB6 for the internal Web interface. (For XPort-01, X1 = Standard Tunnel; for
XPort-03, X2 = Standard Tunnel; for XPort-485, X3 = Standard Tunnel)
6. Click the Upload Now button to transfer the file to the unit.
