XMODEM Download Menu
Use the Xmodem Download command to update available software in the hub via an out-of-band connection to the serial port on the Agent Module. The download file should be an ELH100-12/24TX binary file from Cabletron; otherwise, the agent module will not accept it. This command specifies direct download from an attached device via the serial port. You may download using any terminal emulation program that can transmit binary files using the XModem protocol. The parameters shown in this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
