DownLoad Code

The Download Code function sets parameters within the modem when transferring firmware to a remote modem or when receiving firmware upgrades from a locally attached PC-based controller. The latter should only be performed by customer service personnel.

There are two selections under Download Code: Clone to Remote and To Local via DTE. Clone to Remote is used to transfer an exact copy of the firmware currently stored in a 3800 Series modem to another 3800 Series modem. For this to occur, the modem must be connected to the remote modem via a leased-line network or an established dial-line network. If these prerequisites do not exist, then this selection does not appear on the LCD.

The second selection appearing on the LCD is To Local via DTE. This function permits firmware upgrades to be transferred to a 3800 Series modem. This type of download requires a locally attached PC-controller to be connected to the modem’s DTE port as well as special download software. Any downloads using this selection are intended to be performed by customer service personnel only.

Clone To Remote

This function allows you to transfer an exact copy of the local modem’s firmware to a remote modem. Before using Clone to Remote, perform the following:

•Make sure the 3800 Series modems have an established dial network connection using either V.32bis or V.32 modulation or a leased-line connection using either V.33, V.32bis, V.32, or V.29 modulation.

•Make sure the remote modem’s Access From Remote configuration option is enabled.

•Make sure the password (Remote Access Password configuration option) is the same in both the local and remote modems. (For an example of how to change the password, refer to the Editing and Saving a Configuration Option section in Chapter 9.)

WARNING

The modem begins a transfer of its own program to the remote modem. This process takes the communications link out-of-service for several minutes depending upon the data rate of the link

(14,400 bps = 10 minutes;

9600 bps = 15 minutes;

4800 bps = 30 minutes). If the Clone to Remote process is started and then interrupted, the remote modem is left in a partially programmed state in which its functional capabilities are limited to those required to initiate and complete another download attempt.
