A-A-E
Gives the user the ability to upload or download a copy of the card’s binary
configuration data to or from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
Configuration File Name –The file name may be a regular path name expression of
directory names separated by a forward slash (/) ending with the file name. The total
path name length must be less than 40 characters. If the TFTP server is hosted by a
DOS machine, then directory and file names must follow the 8.3 naming convention
imposed by DOS.
DOS Machine
If your server is hosted by a DOS machine, you must name the file to be uploaded
using the DOS convention eight-character length. The system will automatically
upload the configuration file and create directories and file names as needed.
UNIX Machine
If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the configuration file you name will not
be created on the UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with
your system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories, filenames,
and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and write permissions.
(This is a UNIX system security feature.)
NOTE:
This must be done before you can upload files to a UNIX server.
TFTP Server IP Address –
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format.
TFTP Transfer Direction – Upload/Download (Default = Upload). Select Upload to
store a copy of the card’s configuration on the server. Select Download to have the file
server send a copy of the stored configuration file to the card.
