2.4 Uploading and Downloading the Configuration File
ProSoft modules are shipped with a pre-loaded configuration file. In order to edit
this file, you may transfer the file from the module to your PC or locate and load
the file from the distribution CD-ROM supplied with the module. After editing, you
must transfer the file back to the module for your changes to take effect.
This section describes these procedures.
Important: The illustrations of configuration/debug menus in this section are intended as a general
guide and may not exactly match the configuration/debug menus in your own module. For specific
information about the configuration/debug menus in your module, refer to The Configuration/Debug
Menu (page 51).
2.4.1 Required Software
In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your
computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal
emulator). The following table lists communication programs that have been
tested by ProSoft Technology.
DOS ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs
Windows 3.1 Terminal

The module uses the Zmodem file transfer protocol to send and receive
configuration files from your module. If you use a communication program that is
not on the list above, please be sure that it supports Zmodem file transfers.
