Uploading via console port

FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your Business
Secure Router. However, in the event of your network being down, uploading
files is only possible with a direct connection to your Business Secure Router via
the console port. Under normal conditions, Nortel does not recommend uploading
files via the console port, as FTP or TFTP are faster. Any serial communications
program should work fine; however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to
perform the download or upload.
