Table 3-1. Card Status Options (3 of 4)
NVRAM Config Loader A-A-E
Provides the ability to upload or download a copy of the cards binary configuration data
to or from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
Configuration File Name The file name may be a regular path name expression of
directory names separated by a forward slash (/) ending with the file name. The total
path name length must be less than 40 characters. If the TFTP server is hosted by a
DOS machine, then directory and file names must follow the 8.3 naming convention
imposed by DOS.
DOS Machine
If your server is hosted by a DOS machine, you must name the file to be uploaded
using the DOS convention eight-character length. The system will automatically
upload the configuration file and create directories and file names as needed.
UNIX Machine
If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the configuration file you name will not
be created on the UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with
your system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories, filenames,
and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and write permissions.
(This is a UNIX system security feature.)
NOTE: This must be done before you can upload files to a UNIX server.
TFTP Server IP Address IP host name or address in nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format.
TFTP Transfer Direction Upload-to-Server/Download-to-Server (Default =
Upload-to-Server). Select Upload-to-Server to store a copy of the cards configuration
on the server. Select Download-to-Server to have the file server send a copy of the
stored configuration file to the card.
Start Transfer Yes/No (Default = No).
Packets Sent Number of packets sent in download.
Packets Received
Number of packets received in download.
Bytes Sent Number of bytes sent in download.
Bytes Received Number of bytes received in download.
Transfer Status Status of the upload or download transfer.
Card Reset (Reset System) A-A-F
Resets the card. This resets all counters and if a new configuration or software version
has been downloaded, the new code will then become active. Verify that the LEDs on
the DSL card go through the reset sequence once, and then a second time after
approximately 10 seconds (BOOTP).
NOTE: This action disrupts the data flow for at least 30 seconds.
