31.2.7 TFTP Command Example

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 HomeSafe IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the HomeSafe (rom-0, name of the configuration file on the HomeSafe) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.

31.2.8 GUI-based TFTP Clients

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.

	Table 31-3 General Commands for GUI-based TFTP Clients
COMMAND	DESCRIPTION
Host	Enter the IP address of the HomeSafe. 192.168.1.1 is the HomeSafe’s default IP
	address when shipped.
Send/Fetch	Use “Send” to upload the file to the HomeSafe and “Fetch” to back up the file on your
	computer.
Local File	Enter the path and name of the firmware file (*.bin extension) or configuration file (*.rom
	extension) on your computer.

	configuration file, is “rom-0”.

Refer to section 31.2.5 to read about configurations that disallow TFTP and FTP over WAN.

31.3 Restore Configuration

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration; please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your HomeSafe since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically restart after the file transfer is complete.

)WARNING!

Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HomeSafe.
