How can I update the firmware of a LANTIME system?

All LANTIME systems of the M series and our Syncfire servers can be updated via the web interface. You can find our latest firmware version on the Meinberg LANTIME firmware update page.

In order to be able to access our update files, first of all you have to enter your e-mail address and the serial number of your LANTIME NTP server. You must also select the option that suits you:

Update for

LTOS V7 or
LTOS V6 or
LTOS V4 or V5
Firmware Upgrades (LTOS V5 -> V6)
A specified Firmware-Version

In the last case, you still have to enter information about the currently used firmware version and about the firmware you want. If you are not sure that you can update/upgrade your system, please contact our technical support. Always provide us with the serial number of your LANTIME time server and with the information about the system such as the firmware version, the size of the flash memory on the LANTIME CPU, etc. You can get the information via the web interface in the menu "System -> System Information -> Show Device Version".

After downloading the firmware in which you are interested, open the LANTIME interface in your internet browser by entering the IP in the address field. You will be asked to authenticate yourself. After a successful login, please select the menu item "System" and open the dialog "Firmware / Software Update". With the "Browse" button, open the file dialog on your local computer, and now you can select the downloaded update file.

You can also activate an older firmware version in the web interface via the menu item "System -> Configuration & Firmware". Here, you can also save the current configuration of your LANTIME via "Save current configuration as". The resulting backup of your configuration is then stored on this Lantime time server under "Available Configurations". With a click on the download button, the backup can be saved locally on a PC. Now you have the possibility to use and to upload this locally saved configuration for other Lantime time servers.
