THE XMODEM PROTOCOL
This is the most popular protocol in use today, but
it is slowly being replaced by quicker and more reliable
protocols. Xmodem sends files in blocks of 128 characters at a
time. When the receiving computer is satisfied that the block
has arrived intact, it signals so and waits for the next
block. Error checking is a checksum or a more sophisticated
Cyclic Redundancy Check. Telix supports both and will auto-
matically use the right one. During a download, Telix will at-
tempt to use the CRC, but will switch to checksum if it seems
the host does not support CRC. The Xmodem protocol also needs
a setup of no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. If your
communications parameters are different from these when you
start an Xmodem transfer, Telix will switch to the required
setup for the transfer, and back to the original setup after
it is finished. In the Configuration Menu, you may enabled Re-
laxed Xmodem timing. This is for use with remote services that
can not tolerate strict timing during Xmodem transfers.
