The Netopia R5000 Series 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 por t.
To download a configuration file, follow these steps:
■
Select TFTP Server Name and enter the ser ver name or IP address of the TFTP ser ver you will use. The
ser ver name or IP address is available from the site where the ser ver is located.
■
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 ser ver is located. You may need to enter a file path along with the file name (for
example, bigroot/config/myfile).
