Step 3. Enter command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be

interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout (default) when
the file transfer is complete.

Step 4. Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode to

binary before starting data transfer.

Step 5. Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the

computer. The file name for the configuration file is rom-0 (rom-zero, not capital o).

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP
transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your
TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the Prestige to the computer and “binary” to set
binary transfer mode.

11.2.4 Example: TFTP Command

The following is an example tftp command:
TFTP [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the
Prestige IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the Prestige (rom-0 name of the configuration file on
the Prestige) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in third party TFTP clients.
