B.2 Transferring the Software and Configuration
Files
New software releases are distributed as separate files, which are downloaded to
LA-210 using the XMODEM protocol or TFTP from the Boot Manager menu.
Alternatively, you can download a new software release via TFTP, when the
LA-210 management software is already running (Main menu > Utilities > File
Transfer).
The TFTP protocol can also be used for uploading configuration files that contain
the LA-210 database to the management station. When LA-210 is running,
administrators can use this capability to distribute verified configuration files to
all other units that use the similar configuration.
