CONFIGURATION DATA DOWNLOAD COMMAND
Summary:
This procedure provides instructions for transferring MPU configuration data that
was saved on an external device (host computer) back to an MPU. A host computer containing
software that can emulate a VT-100 terminal and perform XMODEM file transfers is required.
This procedure is used to transfer any saved MPU configuration data to a newly installed MPU.
Caution: Any configuration database from an MPU with Version 3.1 or later software
can be downloaded to an MPU with Version 5 software. When downloading to an MPU
that is not running Version 5 software, the MPU software version of the source MPU
must match the software version of the destination MPU.
Caution: This process will modify configuration that could affect traffic. Be sure of what
you are doing.
Note:
When 3.1 through 4.2 MPU software is loaded to a Version 5 system, the database
is converted automatically. Parameters in Version 5 that are not in the previous version
are left at default.

4. Start the Configuration Data Download process by pressing Y for yes or cancel download
by pressing N for no.
5. On the host computer, start the program sequence that will transfer the data.
Note:
Files must be transferred using the XMODEM protocol.
6. Enter the name of the file that contains the MPU configuration data and start the file
transfer.
Note:
This transfer will take several minutes. During the transfer, some nonsense
characters may appear at the top of your screen, but this is normal.
