Transferring Files
To transfer data or program files, connect your 2325 to the host
computer with any of the following accessories:
• Serial cable
• Single Dock
• Four Slot Dock
Your software application may have simple file-transfer options, or you
can use the XFER utility.
When you use the Configuration Utility to transfer files (see chapter 4),
the configuration utility runs XFER automatically for you. If you are not
using the configuration utility, using XFER involves entering commands
at the DOS command line on both the 2325 and the PC.
The XFER utility is loaded into the 2325 at the factory and placed on
drive B. If the PATH statement has not been changed, you can run
XFER from any drive on the 2325. However, before you can run XFER
on your PC, you must install the Configuration Utility onto your hard
drive.
The command line syntax for XFER is as follows:
XFER [/option1 [/option2] . . .] filename
You can use a slash (/) or a hyphen (-) to denote options, and you can
use uppercase or lowercase letters for them. Options can be placed
before or after the filename on the command line. A sample command
line appears at the end of this section.
You can transfer a single file by using XFER with the Xmodem protocol
(the default protocol) or transfer multiple files with the Zmodem
protocol.
Basic options for Xmodem protocol are listed and described in the
following table. The “Default” column indicates whether the option is
used (On) or ignored (Off) if you do not include it in the command line.
For options that have two or more possible values, the default value is
given.
