Downloading Via TFTP

To perform a TFTP download, you must first configure the ELH100-12/
24TX hub. This consists of programming the hub with an IP address, if
this has not already been done, and entering the IP address of the TFTP
server and the name of the upgrade file. To program the hub IP address,
go to the TFTP Download Menu which is accessible from the Main Menu
screen.

To download hub software via TFTP, do the following:

1.

Enter the Download Server IP address.

2.

Set the Download Mode to “Upgrade FLASH and reboot.”

3.

Enter the filename to be downloaded from the TFTP server.
Depending on the system you use as a TFTP server, you may need
to include the directory name with the filename.

4.

If necessary, configure the address of an IP gateway to reach the
server from the hub using the IP Gateway field on the System
Configuration Menu.

5.

Configure the TFTP server by copying the download file to the
appropriate directory and starting the server.

6.

Select and press [Enter].

To verify that the TFTP download has been successfully completed,
note the software version level displayed on the Hub Configuration
screen accessible from the Main Menu. This number should match
the version number of the downloaded file.
