Configuration Save / Load (TUI)
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Client
As of firmware 1.4.0 , radio configuration files can be saved and/or loaded via TFTP. TFTP file saving/loading is available within
the Text User Interface (TUI) only.
In order for a TFTP file transaction to occur, the embedded TFTP client within the radio, requires a connection to an active TFTP
server. TFTP server software is available on the internet, where they can be installed on a PC and operate in the background.
To access the radio’s TFTP client within the TUI, explore to: Configuration -> Configuration file Load or Save
To connect to the TFTP Server, the following parameters are required by the TFTP Client:
TFTP Server IP: Specify the IP address of where the TFTP server resides (the TFTP server can be connected via a radio link
of directly connected to the radio)
TFTP Server Port: Specify the IP port number in which the TFTP server is listening on. (Default: 69).
TFTP Server File: Specify the name of the file being saved/loaded. (Default file name is the serial number of the radio) If the
name is changed from default, only alphanumeric characters, without spaces can be used.
Load configuration from Server: Using the information provided in the previous parameters, the TFTP Client will attempt to:
• Establish a connection with a TFTP server at the specified IP address and port number.
• If a connection is successful, the client will then request from the server, a configuration file to load into the radio (a
previously stored configuration file within the TFTP Server is required). The name of the file requested is that which is
specified within the TFTP server file parameter. Ensure that the spelling and case sense of the file name is correct.
• Once the file is successfully loaded in to the radio, use Escape to browse back to the main menu, to allow activation of
the loaded configuration file.
• Once the configuration file has been activated, if the new configuration contained a different IP address from the
previous configuration and the TUI connection had been established via an IP connection, a new IP connection may
need to be established (i.e. new Telnet session) targeting the new IP address of the radio.
Save active configuration to Server: Save the active configuration file of the radio to the TFTP server specified. The name
of the file saved will be that which is specified within the TFTP server file parameter.
Save active configuration with passwords to Server: Save the active configuration file including secure information of the
radio to the TFTP server specified (for details on saved secure information, see ‘Configuration Save / Load (WUI)). The name
of the file saved will be that which is specified within the TFTP server file parameter.
