❑ From a remote management session
To upload a file locally, you must start a local management session
directly on the switch. This involves connecting a terminal or PC with a
terminal emulator program to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch, as
explained in the AT-S39 Management Software User’s Guide. You can
use either Xmodem, or if the switch has an IP address and subnet mask,
TFTP.
You can also upload a file from a remote switch. This can be a switch
accessed through enhanced stacking or from a Telnet management
session. This type of download uses TFTP exclusively and requires that
the switch have an IP address and subnet mask.
Here are general guidelines that apply to all upload methods:
❑ A configuration file contains all switch settings, including the IP
address, subnet mask, gateway address, enhanced stacking
status, and BOOTP/DHCP status.
❑ You cannot edit a configuration file with a text editor or word
processor.
Note
It is not recommended that you upload an AT-S39 software image
onto a management workstation for download onto another
switch. New AT-S39 software images for download onto a switch
should be obtained from the Allied Telesyn web site.
Here is a guideline that applies to Xmodem uploads:
❑ Xmodem can only upload a file from the switch where you started
the local management session. Xmodem cannot upload files
through enhanced stacking.
Here are guidelines that apply to a TFTP upload:
❑ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP
server software.
❑ You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
❑ The switch from where you are uploading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask.
