Downloading Hotwire 6390 ReachDSL Modem Software
The Hotwire 6390 ReachDSL Modem is capable of receiving a download of its
software while continuing to pass data. The Hotwire 6390 ReachDSL Modem acts
as a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server while receiving a download
through its DSL interface.
To perform a software download, you must use a PC containing a TFTP client
running on Windows 2000, Windows NT, or a UNIX platform. The download
process differs, depending on whether the modem is in an 8820 GranDSLAM
network with a Model 8355 Line Card or a 4200 GranDSLAM network.
