If your network is using the TCP/IP protocol, you can use a workstation
and TFTP software to upload new software to the management module
or download a copy of the current software from the management
module. The management module contains the TFTP server portion of
the TFTP protocol which requires that the workstation contain the TFTP
client portion of the protocol.
TFTP software is available from various sources and is included in
SNMPc, which can be purchased through Allied Telesyn. A command
line version is included in most UNIX variants and in Windows NT. Please
consult the documentation or the manufacturer of the software for
instructions on how to use the software.

are uploading or downloading software.

software to a file on the workstation. The Put command is used to
upload a new software image file to the management module.

management module, enter the path and filename of the software
image that is to be uploaded. When using the Get command to
download the software from a management module, enter the
