C: Updating Firmware
Obtaining Firmware
Current firmware files are available on the distribution CD. Firmware updates and release
notes for Device Servers can be downloaded directly from Lantronix in one of the
following ways: via the Lantronix World Wide Web site (www.lantronix.com), or using
anonymous FTP through the Internet (ftp://ftp.lantronix.com/pub).
Reloading Firmware
There are three ways to update the Device Server’s internal operational code (CBX*.ROM
or CBX*.HEX): via TFTP, via another device server, or via the serial port.
You can also update the Device Server’s internal Web interface (CBXW*.COB) via TFTP.
Reloading Firmware Via TFTP
To download new firmware from a computer:
1 Use a TFTP client to send abinary file to the Device Server (CBX*.ROM to upgrade
the Device Server’s internal operational code and CBXW*.COB to upgrade its
internal Web interface).
Note: TFTP requires the .ROM (binary) version of the Device Server’s
internal operational code.
A Include the full path in the Source File.
B The Destination File is 3Q (upper case) for the internal operational code and
WEB6 for the internal Web interface.
C Remote Host is the IP address of the unit being upgraded.
D Select Put to transfer the file to the Device Server.
