Xmodem Download
Use the Xmodem Download menu under the Configuration
Panel to download firmware to the hub. The Xmodem protocol
is used to transfer binary files over a PC connection (i.e., using
terminal emulation or modem access software).
Specify the download mode and select Process Download.
Open the file transfer utility in your terminal emulation or
modem access program, specify the filename, and then start file
transfer. When transferring files f ro m you computer, be su re you
specify “Send” or “Upload” file. The file should be a binary file
from Accton; otherwise the agent will not accept it. Also be
sure that you have already set the required bootup option for the
target hub under the Hub Configuration menu.
File transfer status is indicated by messages at the bottom of the
screen. Firmware is first loaded into a temporary buffer. If you
selected download for permanent use, it will then be transferred
to nonvolatile memory. After you finish transfering the firmware,
the agent will be reset and you will have to log back into the
configuration program again. The following screen shows an
example of the Xmodem Download menu.
