Please Xmodem file now:

From the terminal program, use the Xmodem protocol to send the new NMM-xxx.bin firmware file to the NMM (where xxx represents the release level of the software).

Once the file transfer begins, the data uploads to the NMM. The process takes about five minutes over a serial connection.

When the upload is complete, the NMM displays the update status and then automatically restarts with the newly loaded firmware.
