Downloading configuration files

The Netopia D-Series can be configured by downloading a configuration file using TFTP. Once downloaded, the file reconfigures all of the Netopia D-Series’s parameters as if someone had manually done so through the console port.

To download a configuration file, follow these steps:

■Select TFTP Server Name and enter the server name or IP address of the TFTP server you will use. The server name or IP address is available from the site where the server is located.

■Select Config File Name and enter the name of the file you will download. The name of the file is available from the site where the server is located. You may need to enter a file path along with the file name (for example, bigroot/config/myfile).
