Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router

10.2.2 Restore using FTP

Even though FTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To transfer your current workstation configuration to your Prestige, follow the procedure below: Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your workstation.

Step 2. Type open and the IP address of your Prestige. Then type root and password as requested.

Step 3. Type put backupfilename rom-sptwhere “backupfilename” is the name of your backup configuration file on your workstation and “rom-spt” is the remote file name on the Prestige. This restores the configuration to your Prestige.

Step 4. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.

For details on FTP commands, please consult the documentation of your FTP client program.

10.2.3 Restore using TFTP

Even though TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To use TFTP, your workstation must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure below.

Step 1. Use telnet from your workstation to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

Step 2. Put the SMT in Command Interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System Maintenance.

Step 3. Enter 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.

Step 4. Launch the TFTP client on your workstation and connect to the Prestige.

Step 5. Go to SMT menu 24.6. Note that you must remain in this menu until file transfer is complete.

Step 6. Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation. The remote file name on the Prestige is “rom-spt”.

Step 7. The system reboots automatically after the file transfer process is complete.

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, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “put” to transfer from the workstation to the Prestige, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
