The name of the firmware file must be entered in the "Firmware filename"

The AxRM software uses the TFTP protocol. The embedded TFTP server can
be used (recommended) but by unticking the "Uses native TFTP" box it is
possible to use a separate TFTP server and enter the IP address of the TFTP
server.

configuration. By ticking the "Preserve Target Config." to original configuration
will be re-applied. The following sequence of commands is run:
