1.Follow the path: Main menu> File Utilities > SW & File Transfer > Via

XMODEM

RIC-155 responds with the following string:

PLEASE OPEN XMODEM APPLICATION. For exit press Q(uit)

If you press <Q>, RIC-155 aborts the download process and displays

Download failure. Press Esc to continue. in addition to the previous display.

2.Send the *.img file to RIC-155 using the XMODEM protocol of your terminal application.
