Using TFTP to Upgrade the Management Software
If your network is using the TCP/IP protocol, you can use a workstation
on the network and TFTP software to download a copy of the current
software to the multiplexer. The multiplexer contains the TFTP server
portion of the TFTP protocol. The workstation must contain the TFTP
client portion of the protocol.
TFTP software is available from various sources and is included in SNMP,
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.
Note
To download an AT-S47 image file using TFTP, select the
“ats47_v1_0_tftp.bin” file from the zip file posted on the ATI web
site.
Regardless of the manufacturer, all TFTP client software will need the
following information:
Example
The following command assumes that the IP address of the multiplexer
is 149.11.22.12. The new AT-S47 Management Software is stored in the
root directory of drive C on the management workstation. The Loader
Password is ats47.
tftp -i 149.11.22.12 put c:\ats47_v1_0_tftp.bin ats47
-i This indicates that the download file will be a binary
image transfer.
Host This is the IP address of the multiplexer to which you
are downloading software.
Put The Put command downloads a new software image
file to the multiplexer.
Source file The path and filename of the software image to be
downloaded.
Destination file This specifies the multiplexer’s Loader Password. The
default password is “ats47”.
