Downloading a New Management Software Image Using TFTP
Before downloading a new version of the AT-S81 management software
onto the switch, note the following:
 The current configuration of a switch is retained when
a new AT-S81 software image is installed. To return a
switch to its default configuration values, refer to
“Returning the AT-S81 Management Software to the
Factory Default Values” on page 59.
 Your network must have a node with TFTP server
software.
 You must store the new AT-S81 image file on the
server.
 You should start the TFTP server software before you
begin the download procedure.
 The switch where you are downloading the new image
file must have an IP address and subnet mask. For
instructions on how to configure the IP address on a
switch, refer to “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway Address” on page 32 or “Enabling
and Disabling the DHCP Client” on page 35.
Caution
Downloading a new version of management software onto the
switch causes the device to reset. Some network traffic may be lost
during the reset process.
This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the software and
have stored it on the computer from which you will be performing this
procedure.
