A. Software Management uses command-line interface (CLI) to download software to 2900XL/3500XL devices. Because the software on these devices has many HTML/gif files on the Flash, the software must first delete all the files and then proceed with the new software download. Deletion of the images takes time, which is why software downloads to devices can take up to 20 minutes.
