Run the Comtrend Boot Configurator at the NMS server. Check the Save Only checkbox before clicking OK. Then copy
the configuration file to a PC connected to a LAN port on the Comtrend. Use the web GUI on the Comtrend to update
settings with the configuration file.
• Method 2
Install and run the NMS server software on a PC connected to a LAN port on the Comtrend. You must run the NMS
server software so the TFTP server is running. Run the Comtrend Boot Configurator at this PC. Do not check the Save
Only checkbox before clicking OK.
Note: The Comtrend could be connected to the NMS server that is used to manage the network. However, since this would allow
access to the network devices, this is not recommended.
