XPress-Pro SW 94000 User Guide 20
A host system is running a terminal emulation program that supports the Kermit file
transfer protocol.
The host system’s hard drive has the required binary file that will be downloaded to the
Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch.
Configure the system
This option lets you modify any configurable parameter in the switch’s flash ROM before
the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch system boots.
Run manufacturing diagnostics
This option is to download the manufacturer’s diagnostics. Refer to Download Runtime
Software for download requirements.
When the file transfer is completed, the target system jumps to the entry point of the
diagnostic program and starts executing the diagnostic code. The Main Menu of the
diagnostic program appears where you can initiate tests or obtain system information.
Note that user intervention is not required when a test runs, unless an error occurs. If an
error occurs during testing, you are given the choice of continuing the diagnostics or skip
the error.
