Note: The X-Modem File Transfer screen is only available if you are connected via the Console port.

Note: It is good practice when updating programmable devices to disable any other programs or network activity on the device or the attached computer. This includes WAN traffic such as a DSL connection or screen savers or other automatic programs running on the attached computer. Such activity can slow down or interrupt the file transfer requiring you to rerun the upgrade.
