1.Set up the TFTP/Bootp server software on a workstation.

2.Connect both the TFTP/Bootp server and the ATM SmartSwitch to your Ethernet network. Make sure that the TFTP/Bootp server can be reached by the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface.

3.Connect a dumb terminal (or workstation running terminal emulation software) to the ATM SmartSwitch Terminal port.

4.Copy the ATM SmartSwitch operating firmware image into the appropriate location on the TFTP/Bootp server. (In this example, the firmware is located at c:\tftpboot\images\server.ima.)

5.Set up the TFTP/Bootp server tables (or equivalent file) with:

-ATM SmartSwitch MAC address

-IP address of the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface

-path to the operating firmware file on the TFTP/Bootp server

6.From the terminal connection, enter the reboot command.
