4.12.5 Pre-TFTP Backup and Restore Preparation
To perform backup and restore uploads/downloads via the TFTP function, one of the following
two methods of connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) network must first be selected.
1. The first option requires that the system to which you will download be powered and
running through an active MCC server card that is connected to a LAN. The connection
must be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded or in a remote box routed
through the local CPU that is set as a gateway using IP protocol. You must be able to ping
the MCC card and the local and remote CPU host IP addresses from the PC or server that
you intend to use as a TFTP server and vice versa. The DEF RTE on the MCC Ethernet
configuration screen must be set to
static
and must include the IP address of the PC or
server from which you are downloading the firmware. You may need to change the routing
table on your PC to include the MCC ethernet address as the gateway, or the local host
address as the gateway for the system receiving the file as the destination IP address.
2. The second option is to connect to the Integrated Access System interface card’s COM
(C1) port to which you will download the firmware using PPP or SLIP protocol at 19.2k
or 9.6k respectively. Again, you may need to change the routing table on your PC and/or
on the router or terminal server through which the PPP/SLIP connection runs.
Note:
Your PC must have some sort of TFTP or TFTPD server software installed and
running when you are downloading the binary files to the system. If you are using
TFTPD type software it is easier if you set the root directory to indicate where the
binary file is located at the TFTPD root screen. This eliminates the need to enter a
path at the file name screen during the download process. If you are running a TFTP
software package, consult the user guide accompanying the software for details on
configuring and using the software.
