APPENDIX B

IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OID STRINGS

This appendix provides instructions for setting up a TFTP server and to download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings. Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 7.

NOTE

Download an image file to the SEHI with a remote management package such as SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or the appropriate SPECTRUM Portable Management Application. Refer to the specific package documentation for image file download procedures.

The SEHI supports the Standard Local Download application. In this application the SEHI automatically disables management while download of the new firmware image is in progress.

Before downloading the image to a device, you must do the following:

•Load the image file onto your network TFTP server.

NOTE

For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP server, refer to your specific workstation documentation and the guidelines outlined in this instruction guide.

•Decompress the image file.
