sufficient disk space on the remote server for the new file (although config- uration files are not normally large). A specific error message displays when the transfer is unsuccessful.

Also, a TFTP Server may not be available at the configured IP address. If the TFTP Server cannot be contacted, the download attempt will timeout in ap- proximately 20 seconds. Remember to direct transferred files to the Applica- tion directory.

Retrieving the Configuration from a TFTP Server

Before trying to retrieve the configuration, ensure that a TFTP Server is run- ning on a remote machine. If you are running the ADTRAN TFTP Server program, the server is automatically enabled when you start the program.

Also, a level 3 or better password is required for performing a configuration upload. Please consult the ATLA S550 administrator if level 3 access is not available.

Instructions for Retrieving a Configuration from TFTP Server

Step	Action
1	Use Telnet to log in to the ATLAS 550 to which you want to upload
	a configuration file.
2	Select the SYSTEM UTILITY menu, then the CONFIG TRANSFER
	menu.
	Set the TFTP Server IP Address to the IP address of the machine
3	running the TFTP Server program. (If you are using the ADTRAN
	TFTP Server, the IP address displays in the Status field.)
	Change the TFTP Server filename to the filename of a previously
4	saved configuration you wish to load. (Enter the complete
	directory path to the file.)
	Move to the LOAD AND USE CONFIG button and press Enter to
5	proceed with the transfer. Respond with Y to confirm the transfer
	request.
	The ATLAS 550 reboots immediately after a configuration
	successfully loads. No additional confirmation is requested, and any
	online sessions are terminated.

The CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS field indicates the transfer progress. If the upload succeeds, the unit automatically reboots and runs using the new con- figuration. If the upload fails, an error message displays in the PREVIOUS TRANSFER STATUS field. If the TFTP Server cannot be contacted, the transfer attempt times out in approximately 20 seconds.
