General
New IPmux-1 software version can be downloaded to IPmux-1 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 TFTP in Appendix
E).
• Users who have access to the RADview Network Management – for more
details refer to RADview-HPOV Network Management System for IP

Figure D-1. TFTP Downloading Procedure
The IPmux-1 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 downloading:
1. Set the appropriate IPmux-1 MIB parameter. IPmux-1 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 IPmux-1 and the
TFTP server.
