TFTP
94
While TFTP utilities vary from vendor to vendor as does the TFTP syntax,
the general form of the command line is as follows:
tftp <direction> <localfile> <hostIP> <downloaded password>
<mode>
where:
tftp
invokes the utility
direction specifies which way the file is being transferred: get or put
localfile
specifies name of file on your workstation
hostIP
specifies source or destination address
hostfile
specifies name of file on the remote host (download password)
mode
specifies the file transfer mode: ascii or octet
TFTP Configuration to CIB Data Requirements
The following information lists the configuration field and the required
character string that precedes the user configuration value that has been
chosen. Each configuration field data text string entry must be separated
from the previous and the following by new line character sequence, i.e.,
carriage return (0x0D hex) or carriage return/linefeed (0x0D 0x0A hex)
character combination. Without this delineation, the configuration of the
fields will not occur. The general format of these configuration field strings is:
FIELD IDENTIFIER = VALUE
Where FIELD IDENTIFIER is specified to the left of the = (or: which is also
allowed) followed by the VALUE.
For example, if you wanted to change the baud rate to 9600:
BAUD = 9600
Text strings must be surrounded by double quotes!
For example if you want port 7 to be designated ‘computer room’ then:
PORT NAME = 7 “COMPUTER ROOM”
BAUD = 9600
If the FIELD is multi-dimensional such as PORT_NAME (which has up to 16
ports), use the designating number followed by “=” and then the value.
For example:
PORT NAME [1] = “Port Number 1”
or
ELAN NAME [2] = “Elan Two”
One, or all, configuration fields can be used in a TFTP configuration file for
downloading purposes. When a given configuration file is not to be
downloaded, the default or previously entered configuration data for that field
will remain active.
