Section 5 DLP-10 Total Access 850 System Manual

1. Connect to the Total Access 850 using the 10/100BASET interface.

If you are not already connected to the unit’s 10/100BASET port using Telnet client software, use the

procedure in DLP-5, Connecting to the Total Access 850 Using Telnet, to connect to the unit.

2. Log in to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the System, for details).

3. Verify the TFTP server is running on the network.

4. Go to the S

YSTEM UTILITY menu and select the CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; press <Enter>.

5. Verify the T

RANSFER METHOD is set to TFTP.

6. Set the TFTP S

ERVER IP ADDRESS to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP Server

Program.

7. Change TFTP S

ERVER FILENAME to a unique filename. (This will be the name of the configuration file

retrieved from the remote server.) If the ADTRAN Utilities TFTP server is used and no path is

specified, the configuration file is retrieved from the default ADTNUTIL directory. To retrieve a

configuration file from a particular folder, enter the entire filename including path.

Some TFTP servers constrain the format of the filename depending on the operating system of the

server. For example, a TFTP server running on a PC under Windows 3.1 may only permit 8.3 format

filenames (8 characters, period and three extension characters).

8. Select the LOAD AND USE CONFIG menu field and press <Enter>. Respond with Y to confirm the

request.

9. View C

URRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current upload.

Perform the steps below in the order listed.

A TFTP server ships as part of the ADTRAN utilities. If using ADTRAN utilities, choose

TART > PROGRAMS > ADTRAN UTILITIES > TFTP SERVER to start the server.

TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access. Anyone can access

files through the IP port on the server machine if they know the target file’s name.

If you are using the ADTRAN TFTP server, the IP address displays in the STATUS field.

For other TFTP servers, please refer to the appropriate documentation.

The Total Access 850 system is rebooted immediately after a configuration is

successfully loaded. No additional confirmation is requested, and any online sessions

will be terminated.
