46Enter your choice(0-9):The items in the Boot ROM menu are described in Table 17.NOTE:• Currently, Boot ROM files are not provided separately by the S5120-SI Switch Series; instead, they arestored together with boot files in the files with the name extension of .bin.• The procedures for loading Boot ROM files and boot files are similar except that you need to selectdifferent items (1 for loading boot files, and 6 for loading Boot ROM files) in the Boot ROM menu. Thisdocument takes the loading of Boot ROM files as examples.Loading files by using XMODEM through the console portIntroduction to XMODEMXMODEM is a file transfer protocol widely used for its simplicity. XMODEM transfers files through theconsole port, supporting data packets of 128 bytes. With respect to reliability, it supports checksum, CRC,and the error packet retransmission mechanism. Normally, the maximum number of retransmissionattempts is 10.XMODEM transfer is completed by receiving and sending programs together. Receiving programinitiates packet checking method negotiation by sending the negotiation character. If negotiation passes,the sending program starts packet transfer. Upon receipt of a complete packet, the receiving programchecks it using the agreed-upon check method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends anacknowledgement character; if the check fails, it sends a reject character. Upon receipt of theacknowledgement, the sending program continues to send the next packet; upon receipt of the reject, itretransmits the packet.Loading a Boot ROM fileComplete the following tasks to load a Boot ROM file by using XMODEM through the console port. Formore information about the HyperTerminal, see the chapter “Initial power-on” (page 36).Task RemarksEnter the Boot ROM update menu on the switchEnter the protocol parameter setting menuConfigure the switch to download files by usingXMODEMRequiredLog in to the switch through the HyperTerminal andthen configure the protocol used for loading files.Set the download rate of the console port on theswitchRequiredLog in to the switch through the HyperTerminal andthen set the download rate of the console port on theswitch.Change the rate of the serial port on the terminalOptionalSet the baud rate of the serial port on the terminal to beconsistent with that of the console port on the switch.Establish a connection between the terminal and theswitch by using the changed rate OptionalUploading a boot file from the terminal to the switchRequiredTransmit a file from the terminal to the switch by usingthe changed connection rate.
