The PC must be running Procomm Plus with ZMODEM.The procedure was tested using Procomm Plus 2.1 for Windows, but otherversions containing ZMODEM should also work. It is assumed that anyoneperforming this procedure knows how to use ZMODEM.This operation places a heavy load on the SmartSwitch 1800'scentral processor, and should be performed only when there isminimal traffic on the node.This operation copies files (one at a time) from the SmartSwitch 1800 to the locallyattached PC, and is useful for backing up the SmartSwitch's configuration database.You must know the name(s) of the file(s) you want to transfer. All possible databasefiles are listed in Table 19-1 (on page 19-9). The first three exist automatically oncethe SmartSwitch 1800 has undergone its initial IPL. Other files will be created as newrecords are configured.To back up one or more files:1. In Procomm, use Setup to specify a Download Path. The file will be copied to thisdirectory in the PC.
