40 Command Reference Guide
Load/Dump Configuration Configuring a load host or dump host will allow you to:
• Upgrade printer server software.
• Define a workstation to receive and record memory image dumps.
Define TCP/IP Load Host
Specify the TCP/IP host where the printer server’s operational software
will load from.
> Server>> define server preferred load ip
ip_address
ip_address Enter the IP address of the node where the
operational software is stored in decimal dot
notation. For example, 123.234.345.490. The
default is none.
Define Server Load
Specify the source of the operating software for subsequent loads. The
command determines which load protocol the printer server uses the next
time the printer server is reinitialized.
> Server>> define server load [selfload |TFTP
[put] |decnet]
selfload Upon reinitialization, the printer server self-loads
its operational software from onboard non-
volatile memory. This keyword requires special
firmware which contains the operating software.
A printer server configured for a selfload also
has the ability to download its operational
software from a network load host.
TFTP Upon reinitialization, the printer server
downloads its operational software from a
network load host using standard TFTP load
protocol.
