Using Xmodem to download switch software from a PC or UNIX workstation

This procedure assumes that:

• The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port to a PC operating as a terminal. (For information on connecting a PC as a terminal and running the switch console interface, see the installation and getting started guide you received with the switch.)

• The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.

• The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer feature. (For example, in the HyperTerminal application included with Windows NT, you would use the Send File option in the Transfer drop-down menu.)
