Procedures for performing a Console ZMODEM Flash
Load to upgrade the operating software of the router:
1) Save the current configuration of the router (Main menu: option
6).
2) Execute the Console (ZMODEM) command from the Load
FLASH Set-Up menu.
3) Confirmation is required. Enter “yes” to proceed.
4) After the router restarts, the router will be in receive ZMODEM
mode. The router will display the following messages on the
console port:
System startup
Receiving ZMODEM ...
**B0100000023be50
5) Start the ZMODEM transfer and send the file “###.all” from the
Operational/BOOT Code directory on the CD-ROM.
6) Once the ZMODEM transfer is complete, the router will verify the
file “###.all” in memory, program and verify the FLASH, clear
the configuration to default values (except the password), and then
reset. A byte status message will be displayed on the console port
during the programming of the FLASH. After the reset, the remote
sites information will have to be re-entered, either from a saved
configuration file (recommended) or by manually reentering the
information for each site.
On the rare occasion that during the programming of the
FLASH something happens to the bridge/router (power hit or
hardware reset), causing the FLASH to become corrupted, the
bridge/router will restart in ZMODEM receive mode only. If
