3.Start the communications software. Configure the communications parameters to 38,400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and DTE (38.4K 8N1 DTE). Select the correct serial port (i.e., COM1) as the I/O port if not already selected.

6.Begin uploading the flash update binary file from the computer attached to the CONTROL IN port to the PC ServerSwitch 2x16. Once the F key has been pressed, the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 sends a message through the serial port prompting the Terminal program to send the binary update file.
7.The user selects the Flash file on the computer. It is assumed that the file transfer begins, although there is no visible confirmation through the user's computer screen that the flash update has begun. After about two minutes, the file upload (from PC to 2x16) is completed. If no response after 5 minutes, you must start over.
