Router Specification Sheet

LOADING AN APPLICATION IMAGE USING XMODEM

Introduction

The NetVanta 3000 Series Routers contains 7MB of flash memory to allow multiple copies of both

configuration files and application images to be maintained locally on the router for future use. In addition,

the NetVanta 3000 Series Routers provide capability to upload and activate application image files from an

external source using XMODEM. This DLP provides the instructions for uploading a stored application

image for use as the startup image. Application images may be obtained from the ADTRAN website at
