Activating the TFTP Server
Once the TFTP server is activated on the PC, it waits for any TFTP file transfer
request originating from the product, and carries out the received request
automatically.
Transferring Software and Configuration Files
section in Chapter 4
explains how to prepare your PC for the TFTP file transfer.
³ To run the TFTP server:
• Activate a TFTP server application, such as 3Cdaemon (available from
www.3com.com) or PumpKIN (available from http://kin.klever.net/pumpkin/).
Downloading the New Software Release File to ASMi-52
ASMi-52 stores two software versions, each of them in one of the two 512-byte
partitions of its flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software
is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded
into the ASMi-52 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for backup
purposes. By default, ASMi-52 is delivered with the active software only.
New software releases are distributed as an *.img file, which is downloaded to
the local ASMi-52 using the TFTP or XMODEM protocol. Upon downloading, the
new software release becomes active, the former active software turns into
backup, and the former backup is erased.
