4 Enter “root” and your SMT password as requested. The default is 1234.
5 Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.
6 Use “put” to transfer files from the computer to the ZyXEL Device for example “put
firmware.bin ras” transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the ZyXEL
Device and renames it “ras”. Similarly “put config.rom rom-0” transfers the
configuration file on your computer (config.rom) to the ZyXEL Device and renames it
“rom-0”. Likewise “get rom-0 config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the ZyXEL
Device to your computer and renames it “config.rom.” See earlier in this chapter for
more information on filename conventions.
7 Enter “quit” to exit the FTP prompt.

24.3.2 TFTP File Upload
The ZyXEL Device also supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration
file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over
WAN as well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the firmware
and the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next:
1 Use telnet from your computer to connect to the ZyXEL Device and log in. Because
TFTP does not have any security checks, the ZyXEL Device records the IP address of
the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
2 Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System
Maintenance.
3 Enter the command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will
not be interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout
(default) when the file transfer is complete.
4 Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyXEL Device. Set the
transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.
5 Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyXEL
Device and the computer. The file name for the firmware is “ras” and the configuration
file is “rom-0” (rom-zero, not capital o).
