A.2. Load Flash Firmware Using TFTP
Loading firmware via TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) requires a TFTP client. It may be
possible to download a free license TFTP client from the internet. Consult your IT department
to determine a compatible client program.
Before updating the firmware, the firmware flash application must be exited and then erased as
follows:
1 Verify that your PC and the Protocol Converter are on the same subnet (LAN) so the TFTP
client can access the Protocol Converter.
2 Go to Configuration>System.
Figure A.4 System Page
3 Click the Exit to Bootloader button. Once exited, a bootloader web page displays at the IP
address of the Protocol Converter.

4 Click the “Erase Flash” button.
Note To erase the flash, a special username and password are required. The username is fds (all
lowercase), and the password is rle2tech (all lowercase). These cannot be changed.
5 Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows:
Host = Enter the Protocol Converter’s IP Address
Port = 69
Block Size = 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024
Note The file must be sent in BINARY (not ASCII).
