3. Initial Startup and Configuration

Procedure

To upload or download a configuration:

1.Position the cursor in the Image File Name field. Type the name of the file to be downloaded, or the name to be used for the file to be uploaded.

The file name may be a regular path name expression of directory names separated by a forward slash (/) ending with the file name. The total path name length can be up to 128 characters.

DOS machine: If the TFTP server is hosted by a DOS machine, then directory and filenames must consist of eight or less characters with an optional suffix of up to three characters. The system will automatically upload the configuration file and create directories and filenames as needed.

UNIX machine: If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the configuration file you name must already exist. It will not be created on the UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with your system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories, filenames, and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and write permissions.

2.Position the cursor in the TFTP Server IP Address field. Enter the TFTP server IP address.

The first three digits of the IP address cannot be 000 or greater than 223.

3.Position the cursor in the TFTP Transfer Direction field. Use the spacebar to select Download from Server or Upload to Server.

4.Position the cursor in the Destination field. Use the spacebar to select a network destination for the TFTP server. Select DSL if the TFTP server destination is the DSL link port or IMC (in-band management channel) if the TFTP destination is the Management port of the MCC.

5.Position the cursor at the Start Transfer field. Use the spacebar to select Yes. Press Enter.

When the data transfer is complete, the Transfer Status field changes to

Completed successfully.

6.Position the cursor at the Activate new configuration? prompt and select Yes to activate a new downloaded configuration. Press Enter.

The following option settings are not changed:

DSL Mode and Telnet Session configuration options

You must change these settings with the appropriate configuration menus after the new configuration is activated. See Table A-1, Network Interface Options, Table A-4, System Options, and Table A-5, Telnet Session Options, in Appendix A, Configuration Options.
