4. Store the hex image file in the /tftpboot directory as emme.hex.
5. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file by removing anything prior to the tftpboot
daemon (e.g., the # sign) that comments-out the line.
6. Kill the inetd process (e.g., unix% kill -HUP ‘process ID number’),
and then restart the process (e.g., unix% inetd), to enable the revised
inetd.conf file.

STANDARD LOCAL DOWNLOAD
Table A-1 provides a step by step procedure for downloading the firmware
image file. This section provides specific MIB OIDs, their names, and the
required setting for proper image file download. Refer to your specific
MIB walking tool documentation for instructions on how to set MIB OID
strings.
The Download OIDs for Cabletron products reside in Cabletron
enterprise MIBs (group 52). The specific OIDs necessary to perform an
image file download reside in the common download group under
ctDL (Cabletron Download). The full OID string to reach this group is:
1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1
NOTE
You must request a process status and grep for inetd to
obtain the process ID number (see Step 1 above).
Cabletron ships backup copies of the image file for all of its
intelligent devices. Cabletron includes the PKUNZIP utility
for easy decompression of the “zipped” file. The file, suffixed
with .hex (after it has been decompressed from a .zip) is for
Standard Local Downloading through any port. If you are
using a UNIX workstation as a tftp server, and you do not
have a decompression utility that recognizes the PKZIP
format, you can obtain a copy of a UNIX decompression
utility or the image file from the Cabletron Systems FTP
server. Contact Cabletron Technical Support for details.
