Overview

TFTP Requirements

The Controller update software file must be located on a TFTP file server accessible by both the Telnet management terminal and the Access Navigator. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) allows a file to be sent over a network by specifying the server IP address and file name or path name. Using an RS-232 or Telnet management session, the operator sends a CLI “load tftp” command to the Access Navigator, specifying the location of the TFTP server and update file. TFTP server capabilities, including time-out settings, must match the bandwidth of the network being used. Depending on the file size and network speed, the file transfer may take several minutes.

Event Log

During the software update process, the two Controller cards will momentarily be operating with different software. The Access Navigator event log will contain an entry stating that one of the Controllers is Incompatible. This message is normal and can be ignored if both Controllers are updated with the same software.
