NOTE

Some TFTP servers constrain the format of the filename, depending on
the operating system of the server. For example, a TFTP server running
on a PC under Windows 3.1 may permit only 8.3 format filenames (8

Retrieving from a TFTP Server

To retrieve current configuration information from a TFTP server, follow the steps listed below:

1. Set the Server IP Address field to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP server program.

If the ADTRAN TFTP server is being used, the IP address displays in the Server IP Address field. For
other TFTP servers, please refer to the appropriate documentation.

2. Change the TFTP Server File Name to a unique filename, including the complete path. This will be the

name of the configuration file retrieved from the remote server.

CAUTION

Configuration changes will not be implemented until all Telnet sessions
are closed. Loading a new configuration may disrupt data traffic.

3. Select

Load and Use Config

.

NOTE

IP address and management port settings remain unchanged when a
configurative is retrieved from a TFTP server.

Resetting the System

The system must be manually reset after downloading new software. When the unit has successfully
loaded and programmed the new software into its FLASH memory, it will begin uploading the code to the
standby controller. This will be indicated on the menu and the

ACT

LED on the standby card will display

solid yellow.

CAUTION

The standby card must remain in place until the process is complete and
the

ACT

LED is no longer solid yellow. Removing the standby card

during the uploading process will corrupt the software.
