Before performing TFTP download:

IPmux-1/1E has communication with the machine.
2. Log in as SUPERUSER (su).
3. Edit the file named inetd.conf found at the /etc directory, as follows:
− Search for the line starting with a # sign followed by tftp, for example, #
tftp and delete the # sign.
− At the end of that line, there is -S <directory name>.
In <directory name> specify only the path to the file that is to be
downloaded to the IPmux-1; for example, /export/home/demo/tftp).
4. Save modified file inetd.conf and INIT the Unix machine; for example, in
Solaris type init 0 (not the same for SunOS or IRIX or HP-Unix).
5. After the Station reboots, type ovw & to open HPOV.
