To save the current configuration, follow these steps:
Successful Transfer
The Previous Transfer Status field indicates success or failure of the trans-
fer. If successful, the field reads
TFTP Download Complete
, and the Current
Transfer Status field displays
Idle
. The file is now present on the TFTP serv-
er. (For the ADTRAN TFTP Server, it is stored in the installation directory
or the directory you specified.)
Unsuccessful Transfer
There are various reasons why a configuration download may fail. For ex-
ample, the server may not allow the specific filename to be created or over-
written, the specified directory path may not be valid, or there may not be
sufficient disk space on the remote server for the new file (although config-
uration files are not normally large). A specific error message displays when
the transfer is unsuccessful.
Also, a TFTP server may not be available at the configured IP address. If the
TFTP server cannot be contacted, the download attempt will timeout in ap-
proximately 20 seconds. Remember to direct transferred files to the Applica-
tion directory.
Retrieving the Configuration from a TFTP Server
Before trying to retrieve the configuration, ensure that a TFTP server is run-
ning on a remote machine. If you are running the ADTRAN TFTP Server
program, the server is automatically enabled when you start the program.
Step Action
1
Use Telnet and
log in
to the ATLAS 800 for which you want to save
the configuration file.
2
Select the System Utility menu, then the Config Transfer menu.
3
Set the TFTP Server IP Address to the IP address of the machine
running the TFTP server program. (If you are using the ADTRAN
TFTP server, the IP address displays in the Status field.)
4
Change the TFTP Server filename to a unique filename for saving
the configuration file to the remote server. (Enter the complete
directory path to the file.)
5
Move to the Save Config Remotely button and press Enter.
Press Y to confirm the transfer request.
TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access.
Anyone can access files through the IP port on the server
machine if they know the target file’s name. For security
purposes, close this utility as soon as you have finished using it.
