LOAD METHOD=XMODEM
Syntax
load method=xmodem destfile=” filename ”|appblock
Parameters
method Specifies an Xmodem download.
destfile Specifies the destination filename for the file. The file is
assigned this name when stored in the switch’s file
system. The name can be up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces are allowed, but special characters
(e.g., /, \, #, and %) should not be used. If the name
includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes. The name
must be unique from all files already stored in the file
system. The command will not overwrite a preexisting file
with the same name.
The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file. The
APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S62
image file into the application block so that it functions as
the new active image file on the switch.
Description
An XMODEM download uses the XMODEM utility to download files onto a
switch from a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator program
connected to the switch’s RS232 Terminal Port. You can use the
command to update a switch’s AT-S62 image file or to download a
different boot configuration file or a SSL public key certificate.
Note
In previous versions of the AT-S62 management software this
command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying
files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack.
That function is now part of “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 221
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file. This is the name
assigned to the file when it is stored in the file system on the switch.
Enclose the name in double quotes if it contains a space. When entering
the name, be sure to give it the correct three-letter extension for its file
type. The extensions are listed in Table 4 on page 213.
