Perform Steps Below in the Order Listed
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using the ETHERNET interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s ETHERNET port using Telnet client software, use the
procedure in DLP-003 to connect to the unit.
2. Login to the unit.
Login to the unit using at least a level 3 password (see DLP-002 for details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select the CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; then press <Enter>.
4. Set the TFTP SERVER IP ADDRESS to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP Server
Program.
5. Change TFTP SERVER FILENAME to a unique filename including path. This will be the name of the
configuration file retrieved from the remote server.
Some TFTP servers constrain the format of the filename depending on the operating system of the
server. For example, a TFTP server running on a PC under Windows 3.1 may only permit 8.3 format
filenames (8 characters, period and three extension characters).
6. Select the LOAD AND USE CONFIG menu field and press <Enter>.
Respond with Y to confirmation request.
7. View CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current upload.
8. When the upload has successfully completed, IDLE displays in the CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS field
and TFTP DOWNLOAD COMPLETE displays in the PREVIOUS TRANSFER STATUS field.
Follow-up Procedures
Once this procedure is complete, return to the procedure which referred you to this DLP and continue with
the tasks indicated there.
If you are using the ADTRAN TFTP server, the IP address displays in the STATUS field. For
other TFTP servers, please refer to the appropriate documentation.
The ATLAS 550 system is rebooted immediately after a configuration is successfully
loaded. No additional confirmation is requested, and any online sessions will be
terminated.
TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access. Anyone can access files
through the IP port on the server machine if they know the target file’s name.
