The following guidelines apply to an Xmodem download:
ˆ Xmodem can only download the image file onto the switch where you
started the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to
download a new image file to a switch accessed through enhanced
stacking.
ˆ The new AT-S63 image file must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 terminal port on the switch.
The following guidelines apply to a TFTP download:
ˆ Your network must have a node with TFTP server software.
ˆ You must store the new AT-S63 image file on the server.
ˆ You should start the TFTP server software before you begin the
download procedure.
ˆ The switch where you are downloading the new image file must have
an IP address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an
enhanced stack. If the switch does not have an IP address, such as a
slave switch, you can perform the download from a local management
session of the switch using Xmodem or, alternatively, switch to switch,
as explained in “Uploading the AT-S63 Image File Switch to Switch” on
page 236.
The following procedures assume that you have already obtained the new
software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the management station from
which you will be performing the procedure, or on the TFTP server.
