Downloading the New Software Release File to Optimux-106
Optimux-106 stores two software versions, each of them in one of the two
partitions of its flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software is
stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded into
the Optimux-106 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for backup
purposes. By default, Optimux-106 is delivered with the active software only.
