Download Code
The
Download Code function sets parameters within
the modem when transferring firmware to a remote
modem or when receiving firmware upgrades from a
locally attached PC-based controller. The latter should
only be performed by customer service personnel.
There are two selections under Download Code: Clone
to Remote and To Local via DTE. Clone to Remote is
used to transfer an exact copy of the firmware currently
stored in a 3800Plus modem to another 3800Plus modem.
For this to occur
, the modem must be connected to the
remote modem via a leased-line network or an established
dial-line network. If these prerequisites do not exist, then
this selection does not appear on the LCD.
The second selection appearing on the LCD is T
o
Local via DTE. This function permits firmware upgrades
to be transferred to a 3800Plus modem. This type of
download requires a locally attached PC-controller to be
connected to the modem’
s DTE port as well as special
download software. Any downloads using this selection
are intended to be performed by customer service
personnel only.

the local modem’s firmware to a remote modem. Before
