4_0_2.mpk) from a TFTP server running on a host (address 192.168.1.10) that is accessible from the
MCR (e.g. a locally connected host or remote host accessible via cellular interface). To start
reprogramming the inactive firmware image from the CLI, enter the following command to download the
firmware image from the TFTP server:
> request system firmware reprogram filename mcr-bkrc-4_0_2.mpk manual-file-server { tftp {
address 192.168.1.10 } }
