download
You can use standard SGConfig procedures to download a configuration file over the

Firmware integrity
The D20MX firmware uses a Firmware Integrity checking mechanism. This mechanism
consists of a Primary and Secondary storage system, internal to the D20MX, for the
firmware files and an MD5 checksum on the individual firmware files.
Two D20M Shell commands: commit and revert copy the firmware files from the Primary
storage to the Secondary (commit), or from the Secondary to the Primary (revert).
The D20MX determines which set of files (Primary or Secondary storage) to use when
starting up by:
1. Testing the integrity of the D20MX firmware files in the Primary storage.
2. If the integrity check of the Primary storage files is valid, the D20MX starts up with the
Primary storage files.
3. If the integrity check of the Primary storage files fails, the D20MX tests the integrity of
the firmware files in the Secondary.
4. If the integrity of the Secondary storage files is valid, the D20MX starts up with
Secondary storage files.
5. If the integrity of the Secondary storage files fails, the D20MX defaults to the Boot
ROM command prompt.
