16.3 Downloading application software using TFTP
When downloading with TMA over an IP connection, you actually evoke TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Pro-
tocol) through TMA. You can also use TFTP without opening TMA.
To download application software to the Telindus 1031 Router using TFTP, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Start a TFTP session on the Telindus 1031 Router.
For example by typing
tftp 10.0.11.1
at the command prompt of your computer, where
10.0.11.1 is the LAN IP address of the Telindus 1031 Router.
2 Set the following TFTP parameters:
• Set the retransmission time-out to at least 20 seconds. The syntax to do this is typi-
cally
rexmt 20
.
• Set the total TFTP time-out sufficiently large (e.g. 40 seconds). The syntax to do this
is typically
timeout 40
.
• Set the transfer mode to binary (octet) format. The syntax to do this is typically
binary
or
octet
.
3 Type the following command:
tftp> put Txxxxxxx.00@CONTROL?my_pwd
Where …
•
put
is the TFTP command to send a file.
•
Txxxxxxx.00
is the application software file (e.g. T1234001.00).
•
CONTROL
(in capitals!) specifies that the file being downloaded is an application soft-
ware file.
•
?my_pwd
is the write access password as configured in the Telindus 1031 Router. If
no password has been configured, you may omit the ? and the password.
4 When the file transfer is finished, close the TFTP session.
