Procedures for performing a Console ZMODEM Flash Load to upgrade the operating software of the router:

1)Save the current configuration of the router (Main menu: option 6).

2)Execute the Console (ZMODEM) command from the Load FLASH Set-Up menu.

3)Confirmation is required. Enter “yes” to proceed.

4)After the router restarts, the router will be in receive ZMODEM mode. The router will display the following messages on the console port:

System startup

Receiving ZMODEM ...

**B0100000023be50

5)Start the ZMODEM transfer and send the file “###.all” from the Operational/BOOT Code directory on the CD-ROM.

6)Once the ZMODEM transfer is complete, the router will verify the file “###.all” in memory, program and verify the FLASH, clear the configuration to default values (except the password), and then reset. A byte status message will be displayed on the console port during the programming of the FLASH. After the reset, the remote sites information will have to be re-entered, either from a saved configuration file (recommended) or by manually reentering the information for each site.

On the rare occasion that during the programming of the FLASH something happens to the bridge/router (power hit or hardware reset), causing the FLASH to become corrupted, the bridge/router will restart in ZMODEM receive mode only. If
