You can update software in the modem by specifying a device on the LAN where you will place
new software for the update (see
“Defining TFTP Parameters” on page 28 ). Then, use the
procedure “Updating Software” on page 51 to download the new software from the TFTP
device to the Megabit Modem 500L.
Updating Software
You can download software upgrades to your system. Use the Web page shown on page 52 to
initiate the upgrade. To download software, you must have a host on your network that has been
configured as a TFTP server. You set the IP address for the TFTP server and a directory path to
the software when you configure system parameters in
Chapter 5 on page 27 .
To update the Megabit Modem 500L software, ensure these files are available to download from
a TFTP server. You can download any of these files separately:
• .bin (binary) image files for software updates
• .ini (initialization) files for modem configuration
• .htm (html) files for Web page updates
