On-line Operations
This operation applies only to an FRX4000 with a PC attached to the
Console port. The PC must be running Procomm Plus with ZMODEM. The
procedure was tested using Procomm Plus 2.1 for Windows, but other ver-
sions containing ZMODEM should also work. It is assumed that anyone
performing this procedure knows how to use ZMODEM.
This operation places a heavy load on the FRX4000's central
processor, and should be performed only when there is minimal
traffic on the node.
This operation copies files (one at a time) from an FRX4000 to the locally attached
PC, and is useful for backing up the FRX4000's configuration database.
You must know the name(s) of the file(s) you want to transfer. All possible database
files are listed in Table
