the Router to initiate upload mode using the terminal program.
7. Power up the X1200 Router. After the unit powers up, a banner with the boot code version information
should appear in the terminal window. The cursor to the right of the word BOOT> should be spinning for
about 5 seconds then the unit will continue to boot.
For example:

8. The following is a list of possible reasons for failed communications:
• Defective Serial Upgrade cable.
• Wrong communications port selected in the terminal program.
• Improper port settings in the terminal program. (Refer to step 7 for settings). Note that
HyperTerminal will not change port settings while connected. Click on HyperTerminal’s
“Disconnect” Button then click the “Reconnect” button to activate changes to the port settings.

simply cycle the power and repeat this step.
10. Hit the <ENTER> key on your computer once.
