Table B-1. Option Flags for the Xmodem Command
Option
Flag Meaning or Action
y
Selects the YMODEM batch protocol for sending files. Sends in sequence
any list of files you specify in the Technician Interface command line.
m
Selects the MODEM7 batch protocol for sending files
k
Uses 1 kB packets on transmit
c
Selects CRC mode on receive
w
Causes the Technician Interface to wait 15 seconds before initiating the
startup handshake, which in turn starts the specified file transfer operation.
If you are using a 386/486 DOS PC as a workstation, you trigger the initial
handshake by selecting Ymodem-Send or Ymodem-Receive from the File
Transfers menu.
l
When specified in the command line, l inhibits the logging of YMODEM
events in the system log. (Automatic logging is a default mechanism of the
XMODEM/YMODEM protocols.)
When you enable logging (by not specifying the l flag in the command line),
log messages for significant events, errors, and retries are sent to the
system log. The log messages can be useful for troubleshooting.
p
Prints (displays) information and events pertaining to the YMODEM batch
file transfer in progress (UNIX only)
n
Allows CAN-CAN (^x^x) aborts during midtransfer. Otherwise, the
YMODEM protocol allows CAN-CAN aborts only at the beginning of a file
transfer operation.
e
Disables EOT verification when transferring files to the router (DOS only)
