Chapter 11: Firmware Upgrades 
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): using 
DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), using TFTP, or using the serial port. You can also 
update the unit's internal web interface (*.COB) using TFTP or DeviceInstaller.  
Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest 
versions and release notes.

internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal web interface).

operational code.
