Begins updating the firmware for the selected modules. To start this action,
enter
Y to begin or enter N to cancel. You can also cancel the operation after
the update has begun. For XMODEM updates, cancel the process via the
terminal emulation software (consult your documentation for information
on how to do this). For TFTP updates, you can cancel the process by select-

C ANCEL U PDATE from this field.
U PDATE S TATUS Read security: 5
Displays the status of the current firmware update. These fields are identi-
cal to those defined earlier in Current Update Status.
C ONFIG T RANSFER Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Used only with TFTP transfers. Sends a file containing the ATLAS 550 con-
figuration to a file on a TFTP Server using the TFTP protocol through the
Ethernet port.
C ONFIG T RANSFER also lets you save the ATLAS 550 configu-
ration as a backup file, so you can use the same configuration with multiple
ATLAS 550 units. In addition,
C ONFIG T RANSFER can retrieve a configura-
tion file from a TFTP Server.
To support these transfers, ADTRAN delivers a TFTP program with
ATLAS 550 called TFTP Server. You can configure any PC running Microsoft
Windows with this software, and store a configuration file. See TFTP Server
Utility on page 14-10 for details on how to use TFTP Server.
Only one configuration transfer session (upload or download) can be active
at a time. The TCP/IP parameters are not saved or overwritten as part of an
ATLAS 550 unit’s transferred configuration; this way, identical configura-
tions can be sent to multiple units.
T RANSFER
M ETHOD
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Displays the method used to transfer the configuration file to or from a
server. Currently, you must use TFTP.
TFTP S ERVER
IP A DDRESS
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Specifies the IP address of the TFTP Server. Get this number from your sys-
tem administrator.
TFTP S ERVER
F ILENAME
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Defines the name of the configuration file that you transfer to or retrieve
from the TFTP Server. The default name is
Atlas550.cfg , but you can edit
this name.
Before using C ONFIG T RANSFER , the ATLAS 550 should have a
valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if required),
and should be connected to an Ethernet network.
