Using TFTP Services

TFTP services allow the GbE Interconnect Switch firmware to be upgraded by downloading a
new firmware file from a TFTP server to the GbE Interconnect Switch. A configuration file
can also be loaded into the GbE Interconnect Switch, and GbE Interconnect Switch settings
can be saved to a TFTP server. In addition, the history log of the GbE Interconnect Switch
can be uploaded from the GbE Interconnect Switch to a TFTP server.

Please note that TFTP server software must be running on the management station for the
TFTP services to function.

Updating the Firmware File Path

When you select Update Firmware from the TFTP Services menu, the following screen is
displayed.

The Update Firmware from Server window allows you to update the path of a new
firmware file on the TFTP server.

To update the path:

1. Type the IP address of the TFTP Server in the Server IP Address field.

2. Type the complete path and file name of the firmware file for the GbE Interconnect

Switch in the File Name field.
