Update the firmware

LAN Monitor allows you to update the firmware in the following two ways.

  • Since L2MS is used for firmware updates, it is easy to update the firmware even without an IP address configured.

  • For devices that do not support firmware update from LAN Monitor, you can use the Web GUI to update the firmware.

1. Update the firmware one by one

To update the firmware, follow the steps below.

  1. Use one of the following methods to display the “Device Settings” dialog for the device that supports firmware update.

    • “Device Settings” button on the Map screen

  6. After the reboot of the device with updated firmware is complete, check the firmware revision of the updated device.

2. Update firmware on multiple units at once

To update the firmware on multiple units all at once, follow the steps below.

Firmware update is executed in order of the devices farthest away from the LAN Monitor, so the firmware can be updated in batches while maintaining the cascade connection.
