3Enter command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout (default) when the file transfer is complete.

4Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyAIR. Set the transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.

5Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyAIR and the computer. The file name for the configuration file is rom-0(rom-zero, not capital o).

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the ZyAIR to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

23.2.4 Example: TFTP Command

The following is an example TFTP command:

TFTP [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom

where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the ZyAIR IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the ZyAIR (rom-0 name of the configuration file on the ZyAIR) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in third party TFTP clients.
