8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data
8.2.3 Loading Configuration Data via TFTP Client
Before the configuration can be loaded onto other F3400/F1000s, it must be checked for
accuracy. Blank spaces or unwanted characters, such as the “Press <enter> to download the
file” text, may be saved into the beginning of the configuration file. Open the file in Notepad
and examine the first few lines. Delete any characters that were accidentally embedded into the
file.
1 Verify that your PC is connected to the F3400/F1000 over the LAN and that port 69 is open
between your PC and the Falcon.
2 Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows.
a Host = F3400/F1000 IP Address
b Port = 69
c Block Size = 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024
Note The file must be sent in BINARY (not ASCII).
3 The file name of the configuration being loaded must contain the .cfg extension.
4 Send or PUT the file. After a few seconds, the TFTP software should indicate when it is
complete.
5 Configurations are now loaded onto the replacement F3400/F1000. View the Falcon
webpages to verify that the configurations are as expected.
