35.5.7 Uploading Via Console Port

FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your P-793H v2.
However, in the event of your network being down, uploading files is only possible
with a direct connection to your P-793H v2 via the console port. Uploading files via
the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is
faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must
use the Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload.
