If the download is successful, the local modem displays Remote Clone OK and the remote modem displays Frmware Upgrade. If the download took place over the dial network, the modems disconnect when the download is complete.

If unsuccessful, RemClone Failed is displayed on the LCD’s top line. Attempt another download from the local modem. If this fails, contact your service representative.

However, a DTE is not required. The download begins without any operator action. When the download begins, the DCP displays download status messages with the data bank number, current block being loaded, and the total number of blocks. There are two data banks.

This function is for use by Customer Service personnel only to transfer new firmware to 3800 Series modems.

Automatic Firmware

Download

The latest 3800 Series firmware is available at no charge from the Automatic Firmware Download Center.

To download the firmware, your modem must be configured for dialing. Save your modem’s current configuration to the Customer 1 or Customer 2 memory area, and load the Async Dial factory template. (See Chapter 9, Configure Branch, for information about saving and changing configuration options.)

Using your 3800 Series modem, dial the Automatic

Firmware Download Center at 1-813-530-7026. You may use any dialing technique (DCP Dial, AT command, or V.25bis Call Request).

If you have a DTE (a terminal or PC) attached to your modem, informational messages are displayed on it when the modem is connected. These show the amount of time the download will take.

Download Failure

If the download is interrupted, the modem is left in a state in which it can only be used to make or receive a call for a download.
