Commands

Upload

Use the Upload tab to upload Configuration and image files from the AP-2500 to the TFTP server.

NOTE

The Download and Upload commands are from the AP’s perspective. In other words, to send files to the AP,
use the Download command; to obtain files from the AP, use the Upload command.

The TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory to which you want to copy the uploaded file.
If you don’t have a TFTP server installed on your system, install the TFTP server from the ORiNOCO CD. You can
either install the TFTP server from the CD Wizard or run OEM-TFTP-Server.exe found in the CD’s Xtras/SolarWinds/
sub-directory.
Follow these steps to upload files from the AP-2500 to your TFTP server’s root directory:
1. Launch your TFTP server application (if necessary).
2. Click Commands > Upload.
3. Enter the IP address of the computer running the TFTP server application in the Server IP Address field.
4. Enter the name of the file that you want to send to the TFTP server in the File Name field.

Be sure to include the appropriate file extension (for example, you would enter “images.zip” if you want to
upload the set of ICC banner images from the AP to the TFTP server).

5. Select the appropriate file type from the File Type drop-down menu (Config or Generic; see

File Type Overview

for

details.

6. Click OK.

Result: The TFTP operation begins. A new TFTP Operation Status window opens.

7. Click Close after the TFTP operation is complete.
8. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining files that you want to download from the AP to the TFTP server.

NOTE

The AP uploads files to the TFTP server’s root directory. If you are using the SolarWinds TFTP program, the
root directory is mostly likely C:\TFTP-Root\.
