Downloading over tftp
In order to download over TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), the remote file
server must be accessible from the MSPV Ethernet Sideband port. To verify this
connectivity you should ping from the file server to the IP of the MSPV.
To download a software image over TFTP, use the system download
tftp command.
Uploading over XMODEM
The following sequence shows you how to upload a file over XMODEM.
1 Connect the serial cable to the serial interface port. For more information about
the default settings and pin-out of the serial port, refer to the Module
Installation Guides.
2Enter thesystem upload xmodem command:
3 Start the receiver on the serial link.
4 Press ENTER, the M770 ATM Switch will send data on the selected serial
interface port.
Note: Set up of new calls has priority over the XMODEM upload, so on a busy
network it may be necessary to disconnect the M770 ATM Switch from the network
in order to achieve a successful upload via the bootloader.
