10.8.3 TFTP Transfer

In addition to the direct console port connection, the Prestige supports the up/downloading of the firmware
and the configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Even though TFTP should
work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To use TFTP, your workstation must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the firmware and the
configuration file, follow the next procedures:

Step 1. Use telnet from your workstation to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not

have any security check, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP
requests only from this address.

Menu 24.7.2 - System Maintenance - Upload System Configuration File

To upload system configuration file:

1. Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.

2. Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

3. Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating
XMODEM upload on your terminal.

4. After successful firmware upload, enter "atgo" to restart the

system.

Warning:

1. Proceeding with the upload will erase the current
configuration file.

2. The system’s console port speed (Menu 24.2.2) may change

when it is restarted; please adjust your terminal's speed

accordingly. The password may change (menu 23), also.

3. When uploading the DEFAULT configuration file, the console

port speed will be reset to 9600 bps and the password to
"1234".
