Initiating the Download
When the conditions above have been satisfied, initiate the download by selecting the Download Station function from the GSM Main Menu.
Local Downloading
If the GSM was in the Local Download mode when you initiated the download, you will be prompted for the STATION_NAME of the station to be downloaded. Type in the name and press Enter. (The STATION_NAME parameter is the name that you assigned to the station when it was initially configured.) Then the download will proceed.
When the local download is complete, the GSM changes automatically to Local Station Manager access. At this time the Ethernet Interface MODULE OK LED should remain ON, and the STATUS OK LED should stop blinking and remain ON. The ONLINE LED should be ON if the station is connected to the Ethernet network. A
