The syntax of the TFTP call is dependent on the operating system. With Win-

dows 2000 and Windows NT the syntax is:

tftp -i <IP address Host> [get|put] source [target]

With numerous TFTP clients the ASCII format is preset. Therefore, for

the transfer of binary data (e.g. firmware) the binary transfer must

usually be explicitly selected.This example for Windows 2000 and

Windows NT shows you how to achieve this by using the '-i' param-

eter.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP V.1 as specified in RFC

1157) allows monitoring and configuration of the devices on a network from

a single central instance.

There are a number of configuration and management programs that run via

SNMP. Commercial examples are Tivoli, OpenView from Hewlett-Packard,

SunNet Manager and CiscoWorks. In addition, numerous programs also exist

as freeware and shareware.

Your LANCOM can export a so-called device MIB file (Management Informa-

tion Base) for use in SNMP programs.

3.3 Remote configuration via Dial-Up Network

The complete section on remote configuration applies only to

LANCOM with ISDN interface.

Configuring routers at remote sites is particularly easy using the remote con-

figuration method via a Dial-Up Network from Windows. The device is acces-

sible by the administrator immediately without any settings being made after

it is switched on and connected to the WAN interface. This means that you

save a lot of time and costs when connecting other networks to your network

because you do not have to travel to the other network or instruct the staff

on-site on configuring the router.
