3.Connect a dumb terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the SmartSwitch 9A100 Terminal port.
4.Copy the SmartSwitch 9A100 switch operating software image into the appropriate location on the TFTP/Bootp server. (In this example, the software is located at c:\tftpboot\images\server.ima.)
5.Set up the TFTP/Bootp server tables (or equivalent file) with:
-SmartSwitch 9A100 MAC address
-IP address of the SmartSwitch 9A100 Ethernet interface
-path to the POST file on the TFTP/Bootp server
