10.4.1 Upload Router Firmware via the Console Port
FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading router firmware to your Prestige. However in the event
of your network being down, uploading router firmware is only possible with a direct connection to your
Prestige via the console port. Uploading router firmware via the console port under normal conditions is not
recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however,
you must use the XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload.
Select 1 from Menu 24.7 – System Maintenance – Upload Firmware to go to Menu 24.7.1 - System
Maintenance - Upload Router Firmware, then follow the instructions as shown in the following screen
Figure 10-9 Menu 24.7.1 - System Maintenance - Upload Router Firmware
After the "Starting XMODEM upload" message appears, activate the Xmodem protocol on your computer.
Follow the procedure as shown previously for the HyperTerminal program. The procedure for other serial
communications programs should be similar.
Step 1
Click “Transfer” in the HyperTerminal menu bar, then “Send File” from the drop-down menu.
Step 2 Enter the path and name of the firmware file (*.bin extension) on your computer.
Step 3 Choose the Xmodem Protocol.
Step 4 Finally, press Send.
Step 5 The system reboots automatically after a successful firmware upload.
