Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder:

b) Click on: Support tab;
c) Click on: Software Downloads drop-down or hyperlink from Support page;

About Firmware Numbers, File Versions, and Formats: The flashable files on the download
server are organized by product prefix; firmware number (verify that the correct firmware
number is known – see Step 1) and, where applicable, revision letter and release version.
The UT-4500-A firmware archive file hyperlink is F0000202x_V### (where ‘x’ denotes the
revision letter, and V### denotes the firmware version number).
The downloadable files
are stored in two formats: *.exe (self-extracting) and *.zip (compressed). Some firewalls
will not allow the downloading of *.exe files. In this case, download the *.zip file instead.
For additional help with "zipped" file types, see PKZIP for Windows, WinZip, or ZipCentral
help files.
PKZIP for DOS
is not supported due to file naming conventions.
