Managing Directed TFTP

For an Access Server that is not already running V2.3 (or later)software, to

perform a Directed TFTP image load, you must intervene in the boot process

using the ROM ﬁrmware Mini-Monitor. Follow these steps:

3 Deﬁne the Directed TFTP server host address using the DEFINE SERVER

TFTP HOST nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn command. For example:

Local> DEFINE SERVER TFTP HOST ADDRESS 192.444.10.2

4 Ensure that the Access Server load image name matches the ﬁlename used

at the TFTP server’s default directory location (LIST SERVER). If not, use

the DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE aaaaaaaaa command to modify the

ﬁlename. For example:

Local> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE MYDS900

Step Action

1 Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the Access Server console port,

Port 1, at 9600 baud.

2 Boot the Access Server.

3 Once the boot status messages appear, enter Ctrl/B twice. You will receive a

Mini-Monitor command prompt that looks like this: >>>.

4 Temporarily set the Access Server IP address, default gateway IP address, if

required, and the TFTP server IP address, using the "S" command to set the

Access Server IP address (ip=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn), default gateway address

(gw=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn), and the TFTP server IP address

(tftp=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn). For example:

>>> s ip=192.444.2.3

>>> s gw=192.444.5.1

>>> s tftp=192.444.3.3

Step Action

You may also conﬁgure DTFTP using the Access Server Manager V2.3 (or later)

user interface.
