B.2 Downloading the Application and Configuration
Software
New application software releases are distributed as separate files, which are
downloaded to IPmux-11 using the XMODEM protocol or TFTP from the Boot
Manager menu. Alternatively, you can download a new software release via TFTP,
when the IPmux-11 management software is already running (Main menu >
Utilities > File Utilities > Download/Upload using TFTP).
The TFTP protocol can also be used for uploading configuration files which contain
the IPmux-11 database to the management station. Administrators can use this
capability to distribute verified configuration files to all other units which use the
similar configuration.
