characters are lowercase letters (a–z), uppercase letters (A–Z), digits (0–9)
and the hyphen character (-). The extension is used by the router to

page 1-26). If ext is specified, it must be separated from the filename portion
by a period (“.”)
The following are examples of valid file names:

The filename is too long. A maximum of eight
characters is allowed.
Using Wildcards to Specify Groups of Files
The asterisk character (“*”) may be used as a wildcard character in some
commands to identify a groups of files to be processed by the command. A
wildcard must replace an entire field of the file name — device, filename or ext. A
wildcard can not be combined with other characters. The following are
examples of valid wildcard expressions:
flash:*.*
*:*.rel
The following is not a valid wildcard expression:
flash:28*.rel
