<RET> at the system prompt.

Using the MANAGE MODE command

TFTP feature is enabled

TFTP server is enabled

TFTP server is assigned ADMIN file access rights

Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP the

UPGRADE.OSW

file to the

CyberSWITCH in binary mode. Be sure to include the file’s full pathname (for example:

. The exact method to transfer varies, depending

package. A retransmission rate of 10 seconds is usually sufficient; values less than that
may not work properly.
