D: Updating Software
D.1 Obtaining Software
A current software file (MSS100.SYS) is available on the distribution CD. You can obtain
software updates and release notes for the MSS from the Lantronix World Wide Web site
(www.lantronix.com), or by using anonymous FTP through the Internet
(ftp.lantronix.com).
D.1.1 Via the Web
The latest version of MSS100.SYS can be downloaded from the Technical Support area of
the Lantronix Web site.
Note: As a result of Netscape Navigator’s configuration, it may try to open
the file as an ASCII text file. To avoid this, hold down the shift key
when choosing the software file.
D.1.2 Via FTP
The MSS software resides on the Lantronix FTP server (ftp.lantronix.com). Most of these
files are binary data, so the binary option must be used to transfer the files. All released files
are in the pub directory. Always download the README file in the pub directory before
downloading anything else; it contains a list of available software files.
To log into the FTP server, enter a username of anonymous and enter your full email
address as the password. The following text will be displayed:
