Xmodem transfers can only be performed through the serial console, which is authenticated during
login.
1. Establish a direct connection between the device and the host computer. For more information, refer to
Section 2.1.1, “Connecting Directly”

2. Log in to the device as an admin user and access the CLI shell. For more information about accessing the CLI
shell, refer to
