Upgrading Firmware
Your modem is controlled by semi-permanent firmware, which is stored in flash memory. Multi-Tech's firmware is
nonvolatile; that is, it remains stored in memory when the modem is turned off and can be upgraded as new features
are added.
Multi-Tech's Flash Wizard can be downloaded from Multi-Tech’s FTP site and is available on CD. Use this Flash
Wizard for upgrading your firmware. Documentation for using the Flash Wizard is included with the wizard.
The following table shows you which products support the Flash Wizard.
