Obtaining Firmware 
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/pub).  
Reloading Firmware  
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM and 
*.FWX): via DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), via TFTP, or via the serial port. 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.

Please refer to the DeviceInstaller User Guide for information about reloading 
firmware using DeviceInstaller. The other methods are discussed below: 
Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface 
To download new firmware from a computer:  
3.  Use a TFTP client to put 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.  
4. In 
the 
TFTP server
 field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.  
5. Select 
Upload
 operation and Binary format.  
6.  Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.  
7. In 
the 
Remote file name
 field, enter the current internal operational code or 
WEB1 
to WEB28 for the internal Web interface with 2MB flash, or WEB1 to 
WEB28
 or WEB60 for 4MB flash. (For WiPort, W1 = ROM file.  FWX1 = FWX 
file.)
