Software Upgrade 87
XModem completes transmission by the receiving program (receiver) and the sending program (sender). In XModem, the transmission begins with the sending of negotiation characters from the receiver for the purpose of check mode negotiation. After passing the negotiation, the sender is allowed to send the first data packet. Upon the receipt of the complete packet, the receiver checks the packet using the agreed checking mode and will send an ACK if the packet has passed the check and a NAK if not. Receiving the ACK, the sender will send the next packet; receiving the NAK instead, the sender will retransmit the previously sent packet.

n | ■ After changing the baud rate, you must close the terminal emulation program |
and start it again for at least once in order to validate the new baud rate. | |
| ■ In a Windows 98 operating system environment, you can perform the |
| operations of disconnection and reconnection after changing the baud rate. In |
| a Windows 2000 operating system, however, you must disconnect the terminal |
| before setting the baud rate and connect the terminal after finishing the work. |
