Transferring configuration and firmware files with TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a method of transferring data over an IP network. TFTP is a client-ser ver
application, with the router as the client. To use the Netopia R7100 as a TFTP client, a TFTP ser ver must be
available. Netopia, Inc. has a public access TFTP ser ver on the Internet where you can obtain the latest
firmware versions.
To use TFTP, select
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
in the Statistics & Diagnostics screen and press
Return. The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) screen appears.
The sections below describe how to update the Netopia R7100’s firmware and how to download and upload
configuration files.
Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization’s
network administrator.
There are two types of firmware in the Netopia R7100 SDSL Router: router firmware and WAN module firmware.
The router firmware governs how the router communicates with your network and the WAN module; the WAN
module firmware governs how the WAN module communicates with the remote site. WAN module firmware is
included on your Netopia CD for XMODEM transfer and later updates will be available on the Netopia website.
Router firmware updates are also periodically posted on the Netopia website.
To update either the router’s or the internal WAN module’s firmware, follow these steps:
■
Select
TFTP Server Name
and enter the ser ver name or IP address of the TFTP ser ver you will use. The
ser ver name or IP address is available from the site where the ser ver is located.
■
Select
Firmware File Name
and enter the name of the file you will download. The name of the file is
available from the site where the ser ver is located. You may need to enter a file path along with the file
name (for example, bigroot/config/myfile).
