Management, then select Auto Save and toggle until it is set to Disable.

Update Via XModem

Updating the Flash Software via XModem requires that a VT100 terminal menu session be active through
the units craft port. To update the software via XModem, follow these steps:
1. From the MX2800 Main Menu, select Configuration, then Utilities, then Update Flash Software, and
then Update via XModem.
2. Once it has been determined where the new binary file is located, select St art to begin the transfer.
3. Once Sta rt has been selected, start the XModem transfer from the terminal menu program that is being
used by selecting or typing the file path for the location of the new binary file. Refer to the appropriate
documentation for the terminal emulator to begin XModem transfer.
4. After the binary file has been selected, the XModem transfer will begin. To cancel a transfer in
progress, press CTRL+X three times. The ACT LED on the active card is solid amber for the duration of
XModem transfer. The ACT LED on the standby card is flashing green.
5. If updating a unit with redundant controller cards, the active controller will begin uploading the new
code to the standby controller after the XModem transfer has completed and the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its Flash memory. If the unit does not have redundant
controller cards, go to Step 7.
6. While the standby card is having code uploaded, the ACT LED on the standby card will be solid
amber. After the code has finished uploading to the standby card, the card will reset itself and begin
running the new code.
