(98.121.1.167) ->
5. Type the IP address of the TFTP Server and press Enter.
As file transfer progresses, the IAD reports the status of each file being
copied. Two files—acos.bin and boot.bin—will only be copied if they match
the platform, to guard against loading incorrect system files onto an IAD.
Upon completion, the IAD reports the success or failure of these files
specifically, and then reports the completion of file transfer and resets.
Verifying the Upgrade
To verify that the files downloaded successfully, observe the boot
sequence. The IAD displays the software version in the Verilink banner:

NOTE
If the IAD cannot locate the first file to download (typically
release.dat), the update will fail. Make sure you have
assigned a valid IP address and subnet mask, and you’re on
the same subnet as the TFTP Server. Use the Ping command
to successfully ping the IAD and try again.
NOTE
For more information, refer to “Upgrading Imbedded Software
on an IAD with TFTP” from Verilink.
