Load Flash Firmware Using TFTP
Loading firmware via TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) requires a TFTP client. It may be possible to download a free
license TFTP client from the internet. Consult your IT department to determine a compatible client program.
Before updating the firmware, the firmware flash application must be exited and then erased as follows:
1.
Verify that your PC and the Protocol Converter are on the same subnet (LAN) so the TFTP client can access the Protocol
Converter.
2.
Go to Configuration>System.
Figure A.4 System Page
3.
Click the Exit to Bootloader button. Once exited, a bootloader web page displays at the IP address of the Protocol Converter.

Note To erase the flash, a special username and password are required. The username is cpi (all lowercase), and the password is
cpi2tech (all lowercase). These cannot be changed.
