Console Port B-5
2Verify that the AccessBuilder IP address and default router address have
been properly configured (see TABM on-line help or the optional
AccessBuilder Software Configuration Guide).
3If you are updating from software version 5.0 or above, use the Load
command followed by the desired filename, followed by the TFTP
server’s IP address. For example:
\> load absrvr 192.142.72.80
Where 192.142.72.80 is the IP address of the TFTP server.
The AccessBuilder server then resets and resumes normal operation.
The download/upload procedure is now complete.
In the event a TFTP image download fails, perform steps 4 through 8 of
the Console Port Download procedure (page B-9).
Console Port Download/upload operations may also be performed through the
AccessBuilder’s console port. Two methods may be used:
■On-site, a local PC running a terminal emulator is attached to the
console port,
■Remotely, the same as above but with modems in between.
This technique is based on using a PC with a terminal emulator (using
the Windows X-Modem file transfer protocol) to either directly connect
to the local AccessBuilder’s console port, or initiate a call into the
remote AccessBuilder 4000’s console port. Once connected to the
AccessBuilder’s command line interface, an appropriate transfer
command may be issued to perform the desired upload/download
function.
