The following briefly explains each field of the Flash Download screen:

Download Method (Selectable)

This field steps to BOOTP, TFTP, and RUNTIME. If set for BOOTP, the 2H22-08R sends out a BootP request to determine the IP address of the TFTP server and the File Name of the image to be downloaded. If set for TFTP or RUNTIME, the 2H22-08R attempts a TFTP download based on the IP address and filename entered in the fields at the bottom of the Flash Download screen. Section 5.14.1 describes downloading using BootP. Section 5.14.2 describes how to download using TFTP.

Section 5.14.3 describes downloading using RUNTIME.

Reboot After Download (Modifiable only whenRUNTIME is chosen)

This field notifies you that the 2H22-08R reboots after the download is complete. If a RUNTIME Download is performed, this field toggles between YES and NO. If YES is selected, the 2H22-08R reboots after the download completes. If NO is selected, the device continues using the existing the firmware image and stores the new firmware image in FLASH memory. When the device is reset or during the next power-up, the device boots from FLASH memory using the new image.
