Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization's
network administrator.
There are two types of firmware in the Netopia R2020 Dual Analog Router: router firmware and modem
firmware. The router firmware governs how the router communicates with your network and the modems; the
modem firmware governs how the modems communicate with the remote site. Modem firmware, for example to
support the ITU V.90 standard, is included on your Netopia CD for XMODEM transfer and later updates will be
available on the Netopia website. Router firmware updates are also periodically posted on the Netopia website.
To update either the Router's or the internal modems' firmware, follow these steps:
Select TFTP Server Name and enter the server name or IP address of the TFTP server you will use. The
server name or IP address is available from the site where the server is located.
Select Firmware File Name and enter the name of the file you will download. The name of the file is
available from the site where the server is located. You may need to enter a file path along with the file
