5.4 Firmware Screen

Firmware is the software which is embedded in the PLA-407. This software
contains processing instructions for how the PLA-407 sends and receives
information in a secure way.

You can check the ZyXEL website for firmware upgrades for your PLA-407.

Note: To upgrade to the latest firmware, use the firmware upgrade tool available from

the ZyXEL website (www.zyxel.com), or from the CD included with your PLA-
407. Make sure you also upgrade the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility if you
do so, as older version utilities are not compatible with PLA-407s using the
latest firmware.

Click Firmware to open the screen as follows.
