If the TFTP client does not get a response from the TFTP server within a period specified by the Timeout setting, it will resend the previous request. The Max number of retries setting specifies the maximum number of resends before the TFTP client stops communicating with the TFTP server.

2.Connect the computer and one of the LAN Ethernet switch port with a normal Ethernet cable.
