XMODEM Download Menu

Use the Xmodem Download command to update available software in the
hub via an out-of-band connection to the serial port on the Agent Module.
The download file should be an ELH100-12/24TX binary file from
Cabletron; otherwise, the agent module will not accept it. This command
specifies direct download from an attached device via the serial port. You
may download using any terminal emulation program that can transmit
binary files using the XModem protocol. The parameters shown in this
screen are indicated in the following figure and table.

To start the download process, use the XModem protocol and select the
ELH100-12/24TX binary file. Start sending the file from your computer by
using the “send” or “upload” file facility of the terminal emulation program.
The terminal emulation program will display the progress of the download
process. After downloading the new software, the agent will automatically
restart itself.
