Downloading Files

This section contains the procedures for downloading files onto a switch
from a local or Telnet management session. Because the process for
downloading files depends upon the file type (either an image file or
another type of file), this section contains two parts:

Downloading an Image File Using Xmodem or TFTP on page 173

Downloading a File Using Xmodem or TFTP on page 180

You can transfer a file using either the Xmodem or TFTP protocol for a
local management session, or the TFTP protocol only for a Telnet
management session. In order to use TFTP, there must be a node on your
network with the TFTP server software and the file to download must be
stored on that node.

In general, installing a new AT-S60 software image does not change the
current configuration settings of a switch (for example, IP address,
subnet mask, and virtual LANs).

However, when you upgrade the AT-S60 management software from
version 1.1.4 to version 2.0.0NE or later, you must reset the switch to the
factory defaults and then update your configuration file.

This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the new AT-S60
management software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the
management workstation from which you are performing the
procedure, or on the TFTP server.
