Transferring Configuration and Firmware Files with XMODEM

You can transfer configuration and firmware files with XMODEM through the Netopia 4753’s console port. Be sure your terminal emulation program supports XMODEM file transfers.

To go to the X-Modem File Transfer screen, select it in the Utilities & Diagnostics menu.

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

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.
