Chapter 3 Configuration
The TFTP Process
The agent software file should be placed on a computer that can be located
anywhere on the network. During the TFTP process, the computer acts as the
Server and the agent as the Client. From the Terminal, the user configures the
agent with the IP address of the TFTP server, the file name to be downloaded, and
the download destination bank. The Agent then gets the specified file from the
server.
During the download process the user can monitor the process status parameters
by using the Monitor Software Download Process sub menu. The agent remains
fully functional during the download process. At the end of a successful
download, the whole stack resets automatically.
Software Download Procedure
Before starting the download procedure, do the following:
1. Ensure that the supplied agent software file resides on a computer with TFTP
server capabilities.
2. Ensure that the file is accessible to the agent. Contact the agent from the TFTP
server by typing ping <ip_address_of_agent>.
