30.2 Firmware Upgrade Screen
The X6004 accepts two kinds of firmware files. The first type of file has a ".bin" extension.
This type of file contains instructions on how the device drivers interact with the main
processing unit of the X6004. In other words, when you upload a new ".bin" file you might not
see any changes in the GUI of the X6004, but you may experience improved performance. The
second type of file has a ".rom" extension. This type of file contains functional instructions for
the X6004. When you upload this type of file, you may see new features or changes in the GUI
of the X6004.
Find firmware at www.zyxel.com. Read the firmware release notes before uploading the
firmware files. The upload process uses HTTPS and may take several minutes. After a
successful upload, the system reboots.
Do not turn off the device while firmware upload is in progress!
Use this screen to view the current firmware version on the X6004 and to update the X6004 if
you have newer firmware. To access this screen, click the Maintenance > Firmware
