You can download software upgrades from one switch to one or
more switches on the network using Omega; or download software
via the trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) from a TFTP server.
The switches described in this guide initially use a factory-configured
default password, ATS21, to authorize software downloads. You do
not need to manually enter this password to download software
successfully. Software downloads do not require you to be physically
at the destination switches.

Omega uses the trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) of the TCP/IP
protocol suite to download software to other switches, whether or
not your network uses TCP/IP.
The switch can download software to other switches of the same
product family within the following conditions:
❑ The switches must be directly connected to the same network
cable or joined by switches, bridges, or routers. If joined by
routers, the gateway addresses in both source and destination
switches must be properly configured.
❑ All switches receiving the same software must use the same
download password as the source (default, ATS21). See
Chapter 3, IP Parameters, on page 3-2.

If you have TFTP, you can use TFTP commands to download an image
file from the switch that has the upgraded software.
TFTP platforms vary. Some have graphical user interfaces while
others require you to enter commands. Consult your TFTP
documentation for the commands. When using the TFTP get (if you
are on the destination switch) or put (if you are on the source switch)
command, use the following variables:
Image file name: Get the latest from Allied Telesyn’s website at
www.alliedtelesyn.com.
IP address: This is the IP address of the switch that is the source or
destination of the image file.
Download password: The default download password is ATS21 in
uppercase.
File type: The file type is octet.
