2.14.2 Updating Using Xmodem

The Xmodem upgrade method requires a direct connection between the AP
and PC using a Null modem serial cable and terminal emulation software
like HyperTerminal. Xmodem supports file transfers between terminal
emulation programs and the AP UI.

Xmodem transfers require more time than TFTP transfers.

To update the AP firmware:

1. Copy the firmware files dsap3_fw.bin and dsapt3htm.bin to the PC hard

disk that runs a terminal emulation program.
