D.1 Inband TFTP Download Procedure
General
A new IPmux-4 software version can be downloaded to the IPmux-4 using TFTP.
There are three possible procedures:
• Users who access IPmux using Telnet can perform software download and
configuration upload/download using the Configuration screens. For details see
Download/Upload using the TFTP window in Appendix E.
• Users who have access to the RADview Network Management. For more
details refer to RADview-HPOV Network Management System for IP
Applications.
• Users who access a MIB browser. The TFTP downloading procedure is
illustrated in Figure D-1.

Figure D-1. TFTP Downloading Procedure
The IPmux-4 manager station must be equipped with a TFTP server and the
new software.
The procedures in this chapter should be performed only by a UNIX expert.
➤
To start download:
1. Set the appropriate IPmux-4 MIB parameter. The IPmux-4 then sends requests
to the TFTP server (where the new software resides) and receives packets of
data.
2. If there is no TFTP server available to the main manager, assign a station where
there is a TFTP server installed. This server becomes a secondary manager. In
this case, the main manager only initiates the download process (by setting the
MIB parameter), which is then performed between the IPmux-4 and the TFTP
server.
