Updating Firmware

Your NetGuardian 216 ships with the correct firmware already installed. You will need to upload firmware to the
unit only if updated firmware is released. It is recommended that you upload firmware using the T/NG216
software included with the NetGuardian 216. However, some users may prefer to use two other DPS Telecom
utility programs, ComloaderW for Windows or DPSLoad for MS-DOS. Only one program needs to be used to
upload firmware.
