Before the configuration can be loaded onto other F3400/F1000s, it must be checked for accuracy. Blank spaces or unwanted characters, such as the “Press <enter> to download the file” text, may be saved into the beginning of the configuration file. Open the file in Notepad and examine the first few lines. Delete any characters that were accidentally embedded into the file.

1Verify that your PC is connected to the F3400/F1000 over the LAN and that port 69 is open between your PC and the Falcon.

2Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows. a Host = F3400/F1000 IP Address
