Obtaining Firmware

You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the
Lantronix Web site (http://www.lantronix.com/) or by using anonymous FTP
(ftp://ftp.lantronix.com/).

Reloading Firmware

There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (U200*.ROM or
U200*.HEX): using DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), TFTP, another unit, or a serial
port. You can also update the unit's internal Web interface (CBXW*.COB) using
TFTP or DeviceInstaller.
