State item will change from Idle to Reading Firmware. The
TFTP Current Transfer Bytes item will reflect the number of

Downloading configuration files
The Router can be configured by downloading a configuration file
using TFTP. Once downloaded, the file reconfigures all of the
Router’s parameters as if someone had manually done so through
the console port.
To download a configuration file, follow these steps:
1.
Select TFTP Server Name and enter the DNS name or IP
address of the TFTP server you will use. The DNS name or IP
address is available from the site where the server is located.
2.
Select Config File Name and enter the name of the file you will
download. The name of the file is available from the site where
the server is located. You may need to enter a file path along
with the file name (for example, bigroot/config/myfile).
3.
Select GET CONFIG FROM SERVER and press Return. You will
see the following dialog box:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Are you sure you want to send a saved configuration to your Netopia? |
| |
| |
| CANCEL CONTINUE |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Select CANCEL to exit without downloading the file, or select
CONTINUE to download the file. The system will reset at the
end of the file transfer to put the new configuration into effect.
