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.
