APPENDIX B

IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDs

This appendix provides instructions for setting up a TFTP server and to
download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings.
Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 7,
Section 7.8.

The SEHI supports the Standard TFTP Download application. In this
application the SEHI automatically goes offline during the image
download. After the download, the SEHI programs FLASH, then reboots
with the new image.

Before downloading the image to the SEHI, you must complete the
following steps:

1. Decompress the image file on a DOS PC using the PKUNZIP utility

included with the image.

2. Load the decompressed image file onto the TFTP server.

NOTE

Download an image file to the SEHI with a remote
management package such as SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM
Element Manager, or the appropriate SPECTRUM Portable
Management Application. Refer to the specific package
documentation for image file download procedures.

NOTE

The PKUNZIP utility requires a DOS PC. You must
decompress the image file on the DOS PC before you load the
image file onto the TFTP server.

NOTE

For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP
server, refer to your specific workstation documentation. These
instructions include limited information and guidelines for
setting up a UNIX workstation to work as a TFTP server.
