2 Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System
Maintenance.
3 Enter 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 ZyXEL Device. Set the
transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.
5 Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyXEL Device
and the computer. The file name for the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-zero, not
capital o).
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the
TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the
documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the ZyXEL
Device to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
34.3.7 TFTP Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom
Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files),
“host” is the ZyXEL Device IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the ZyXEL Device
(rom-0, name of the configuration file on the ZyXEL Device) to the file destination on the
computer and renames it config.rom.
34.3.8 GUI-based TFTP Clients
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.
