ADTRAN 550 user manual Update Status, Config Transfer, Tftp Server

Chapter 6. System Control Terminal Menus

BEGIN	Write security: 1; Read security: 5
FIRMWARE	Begins updating the firmware for the selected modules. To start this action,
UPDATE	enter Y to begin or enter N to cancel. You can also cancel the operation after
	the update has begun. For XMODEM updates, cancel the process via the
	terminal emulation software (consult your documentation for information
	on how to do this). For TFTP updates, you can cancel the process by select-
	ing CANCEL UPDATE from this field.
UPDATE STATUS	Read security: 5
	Displays the status of the current firmware update. These fields are identi-
	cal to those defined earlier in Current Update Status.
CONFIG TRANSFER	Write security: 3; Read security: 5
	Used only with TFTP transfers. Sends a file containing the ATLAS 550 con-
	figuration to a file on a TFTP Server using the TFTP protocol through the
	Ethernet port. CONFIG TRANSFER also lets you save the ATLAS 550 configu-
	ration as a backup file, so you can use the same configuration with multiple
	ATLAS 550 units. In addition, CONFIG TRANSFER can retrieve a configura-
	tion file from a TFTP Server.
	To support these transfers, ADTRAN delivers a TFTP program with
	ATLAS 550 called TFTP Server. You can configure any PC running Microsoft
	Windows with this software, and store a configuration file. See TFTP Server
	Utility on page 14-10 for details on how to use TFTP Server.
	Before using CONFIG TRANSFER, the ATLAS 550 should have a
	valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if required),
	and should be connected to an Ethernet network.
	Only one configuration transfer session (upload or download) can be active
	at a time. The TCP/IP parameters are not saved or overwritten as part of an
	ATLAS 550 unit’s transferred configuration; this way, identical configura-
	tions can be sent to multiple units.
TRANSFER	Write security: 3; Read security: 5
METHOD	Displays the method used to transfer the configuration file to or from a
	server. Currently, you must use TFTP.
TFTP SERVER	Write security: 3; Read security: 5
IP ADDRESS	Specifies the IP address of the TFTP Server. Get this number from your sys-
	tem administrator.
TFTP SERVER	Write security: 3; Read security: 5
FILENAME	Defines the name of the configuration file that you transfer to or retrieve
	from the TFTP Server. The default name is Atlas550.cfg, but you can edit
	this name.
