Installing an Image on the Module

If the module suffers a failure, and the module application image cannot run, you can reinstall a new image on the module from a TFTP server.

Note Do not use the upgrade command within the module software to install the image.

Prerequisites

Be sure the TFTP server that you specify can transfer files up to 60 MB in size.

Note This process can take approximately 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network and the size of the image.
