The
Previous Transfer Status
field indicates success or failure of the trans-
fer. If successful, the field reads

, and the
Current

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.
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.
