sufficient disk space on the remote server for the new file (although config-
uration files are not normally large). A specific error message displays when
the transfer is unsuccessful.
Also, a TFTP Server may not be available at the configured IP address. If the
TFTP Server cannot be contacted, the download attempt will timeout in ap-
proximately 20 seconds. Remember to direct transferred files to the Applica-
tion directory.
Retrieving the Configuration from a TFTP Server
Before trying to retrieve the configuration, ensure that a TFTP Server is run-
ning on a remote machine. If you are running the ADTRAN TFTP Server
program, the server is automatically enabled when you start the program.
Also, a level 3 or better password is required for performing a configuration
upload. Please consult the ATLA S550 administrator if level 3 access is not
available.
The C URRENT T RANSFER S TATUS field indicates the transfer progress. If the
upload succeeds, the unit automatically reboots and runs using the new con-
figuration. If the upload fails, an error message displays in the
P REVIOUS
T RANSFER S TATUS field. If the TFTP Server cannot be contacted, the transfer
attempt times out in approximately 20 seconds.
