You must have a TFTP server running on any host that you are uploading or downloading files to/from. When you specify the file path, the path must be relative to the default path set in your TFTP server software.

Configure the following parameters:

Firmware Host The host name or IP address of the server that contains the firmware file. If you use a host name, it must exist in the IOLAN’s host table or be resolved by DNS.

Firmware File The path and file name, relative to the default path of your TFTP server software, of the update software for the IOLAN that will be loaded when the IOLAN is rebooted.

Configuration Host The host name or IP address of the server that contains the configuration file. If you use a host name, it must exist in the IOLAN’s host table or be resolved by DNS.

Configuration File The path and file name, relative to the default path of your TFTP server software, of the configuration file for the IOLAN that will be loaded when the IOLAN is rebooted.
