with a USB Drive
You can accomplish part or all of the following tasks simultaneously by
plugging a USB flash drive which contains one or several special
configuration files into the EMX.

Configuration changes

Firmware upgrade

Downloading diagnostic data
Tip: You can also accomplish the same tasks via the TFTP server in a
DHCP network. See Bulk Configuration or Firmware Upgrade via
DHCP/TFTP (on page 454).
To use a USB drive to configure the EMX or upgrade firmware:
1. Verify that both the USB drive and your EMX meet the requirements.
See
System and USB Requirements
2. Prepare required configuration files. See
page 444).
3. Copy required configuration files to the root directory of the USB
drive.
 For firmware upgrade, an appropriate firmware binary file is also
required.
4. Plug the USB drive into the USB-A port of the EMX.
5. The initial message shown on the front panel display depends on the
first task performed by the EMX.
 If no firmware upgrade task will be performed, a happy smiley as
shown below is displayed after around 30 seconds.

 If the USB drive contains the firmware upgrade data, the EMX
first performs the firmware upgrade, showing the upgrade
message on the front panel display, and then shows the happy
smiley when the firmware upgrade completes successfully. See
Firmware Upgrade via USB
6. After the happy smiley appears, press and hold one of the control
buttons next to the front panel display for one second until the
display turns blank.
