4 Enter “root” and your SMT password as requested. The default is 1234.
5 Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.
6 Use “put” to transfer files from the computer to the ZyAIR, e.g., put firmware.bin ras
transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the ZyAIR and renames it
“ras”. Similarly “put config.rom rom-0” transfers the configuration file on your computer
(config.rom) to the ZyAIR and renames it “rom-0”. Likewise “get rom-0 config.rom”
transfers the configuration file on the ZyAIR to your computer and renames it
“config.rom.” See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.
7 Enter “quit” to exit the FTP prompt.

34.4.4 TFTP File Upload
The ZyAIR also supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as
well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the firmware
and the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next:
1 Use telnet from your computer to connect to the ZyAIR and log in. Because TFTP does
not have any security checks, the ZyAIR records the IP address of the telnet client and
accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
2 Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System
Maintenance.
3 Enter the 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.
4 Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyAIR. Set the transfer
mode to binary before starting data transfer.
