to its default configuration values, refer to Returning the AT-S62
Software to the Factory Default Values on page 74.

❑ The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You

cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.

The following guidelines apply to an Xmodem download:

❑ Xmodem can only download the image file onto the switch where

you started the local management session. You cannot use
Xmodem to download a new image file to a switch accessed
through enhanced stacking.

❑ The new AT-S62 image file must be stored on the computer or

terminal connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.

The following guidelines apply to a TFTP download:

❑ Your network must have a node with TFTP server software.

❑ You must store the new AT-S62 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, such as a master switch of an
enhanced stack. If the switch does not have an IP address, such as
a slave switch, you can perform the download from a local
management session of the switch using Xmodem or,
alternatively switch to switch, as explained in Uploading an
AT-S62 Image File Switch to Switch on page 183.

The following procedures assume that you have already obtained the
new software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the management
workstation from which you will be performing the procedure, or on the
TFTP server.
