3.1 TFTP Server Setup

Follows a base station restart or loss of power, each base station retains only its IP address settings (if it has been

statically configured). If not statically configured the base station needs to obtain its IP address settings via DHCP.

In either case the base stations then need to upload from a TFTP server the IP DECT base station software before they

become operational again. Therefore there is a requirement for the IP DECT system to have permanent access to a TFTP

server.

· While the IP Office Manager application can act as a TFTP server it is not recommended for scenarios such as this

where it needs to be left running permanently.

· IP Office control units fitted with Embedded Voicemail memory cards can also act as TFTP servers. However due to

the boot time this is only supported for 3 base stations connected to a Small Office Edition or 5 base stations

connected to an IP406 V2 or IP Office 500 control unit.

· If no existing TFTP server is available, TFTP server software can be downloaded from the Avaya support web site

at http://support.avaya.com.

TFTP Server Setup

1.Check that the PC chosen to run the TFTP server has a fixed IP address.

2.Install and configure the TFTP software as per the software manufacturers instructions.

3.From the IPDECT folder on the IP Office Administrator Applications CD or DVD, copy the file ADMM_RFP_1_1_5.

tftp (version number may vary) to the root directory configured for the TFTP server. If using the Avaya provided

TFTP server software:

· Select System | Setup and select the Outbound tab.

· Set the Outbound file path to the folder location where you placed the software file.

4.From another PC on the LAN test operation of the TFTP server.

· Select Start and then Run.

· Enter cmd.

· In the command line window enter tftp -i 192.168.42.203 get ADMM_RFP_1_1_5.tftp, substituting the IP

address of the TFTP server and the file name that matches the .tftp file placed on the TFTP server.

· The response should be Transfer successful. Note: Transfer will fail with can't write to local file if the

transfer file is already present in the folder part from which the command is being executed.

5.Proceed to base station installation.
