Upgrading the product’s software can be done in two different ways,
1. Download from computer to the unit initiated from the unit itself with the appropriate
command (sw-dnld),
The unit acts as a client consuming from the computer, so a TFTP daemon should be
started into the computer, and TFTP mode should be set to client in the unit.
2. Upload from the computer to the unit initiated from the computer itself,
The units acts as a server offering a TFTP service to the computer, so the computer
should use a TFTP client to upload the software into the unit that should be set to
server mode.
get-tftp-mode
The get-tftp-mode command retrieves the TFTP download mode. This command requires
no argument.
sw-dnld
The sw-dnld command starts the software download process from the remote TFTP server
specified by the set-tftp-srvr command, retrieving the file specified by the set-sw-file
command. The progress of the process appears under the form of a dot displayed at regular
interval. Once the download is finished the software is copied into the non-volatile RAM then
the equipment reboots.
