This function is for use only by customer service
personnel to transfer new firmware to 3800Plus
modems.
Automatic Firmware
Download
New
releases may be available for the 3800
Plus
modem. The latest 3800Plus firmware is available at no
charge from the Automatic Firmware Download Center.
Refer to page A in the front of this document for contact
information.
To download the firmware, your modem must be
configured for dialing. Save your modem’s current
configuration to the Customer 1 or Customer 2 memory
area, and load the Async Dial factory template. (See
Chapter 8, Configur
e Branch
, for information about
saving and changing configuration options.)
If you have a DTE (a terminal or PC) attached to your
modem, informational messages are displayed on it when
the modem is connected. These show the amount of time
the download will take.
However, a DTE is not required. The download begins
without any operator action. When the download begins,
the DCP displays download status messages with the data
bank number, current block being loaded, and the total
number of blocks. There are two data banks.

Reload your configuration options from the
Customer 1 or Customer 2 memory area that you saved
them to.
