2. Run the executable file to extract the .bin file to a tftp boot sub-directory e.g.
C:\Program Files\3Com\TFTP Server\tftpboot. This file contains the management
software.
3. If you have not used the default tftpboot sub-directory, make a note of where you
have extracted the .bin file, as you will need to direct your TFTP Server to it.
Setting up your TFTP Server
CAUTION: These instructions apply to the 3Com TFTP Server, which is a Microsoft
Windows TFTP application.
1. Install the 3Com TFTP Server:
a. From the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch, or
b. By downloading the 3Com TFTP Server (filename 3ts01_xx.exe) from the
3Com website:
http://support.3com.com
2. Install the 3Com TFTP Server on a Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP machine.
3. To launch the 3Com TFTP Server, click Start -> Programs -> 3Com TFTP Server
-> 3Com TFTP Server.
4. Check that the 3Com TFTP Server is configured to point where the .bin upgrade
file is located. To do this:
a. Click the Options button on the 3Com TFTP Server menu bar.
b. The Upload/Download directory file path should point to the tftp boot sub-
directory e.g. C:\Program Files\3Com\TFTP Server\tftpboot. This is the
directory where the Switch will look for the file to upgrade the Switch.
c. You may need to change the path to point to the directory containing the
.bin upgrade file.
d. Click the OK button to close the Setup window.
The IP address of the 3Com TFTP Server is displayed on the Title Bar.
You will need this to configure the Switch and TFTP Server with IP
information.
Configuring the Switch and TFTP Server IP information
1. Ensure that you assign an IP address to the Switch that is being upgraded. For
further information about setting up an IP address, refer to
Setting Up IP
Information in the Switch documentation.
2. Ensure that you have connected your Switch to the TFTP Server using an RJ45
cable (the TFTP Server is the workstation containing the 3Com TFTP Server
application).
3. The Switch that you are upgrading must:
a. Be in the same subnet as the workstation running your TFTP Server.
