The MGX 8230 PXM is ready to rece ive a firmware image through the Ethernet p ort. U se t he
workstation for the next steps.
Step 4 At the workstation, you can optionally ping the MGX 8230 PXM using the IP address to confirm that
the node is reachable.
Step 5 Establish communication with the MGX 8230 PXM according to the user-communication device type.
For example, at the prompt on a UNIX workstation, you could enter:
>tip -9600 /dev/ttya
The device specification could also be ttyb.
Step 6 Enter the tftp command with the IP address set at t he ASCII terminal. For example, if th e c onsole port
is connected to the serial port of the workstation:
$tftp 162.29.38.101
Step 7 At the tftp prompt, e nt e r bi n ary mode:
