Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge
Configuration and Firmware File Maintenance
7-11
Step 3.
Enter the command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be
interrupted. Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout (default) when
the file transfer is complete.
Step 4.
Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode to
binary before starting data transfer.
Step 5.
Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the
computer. The file name for the firmware is “ras
”
and the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-
zero, not capital o).
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the TFTP
transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your
TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, “put” the other
way around, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
7.4.5 Example: TFTP Command
The following is an example tftp command:
TFTP [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the
Prestige’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware
on the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the Prestige).
Commands that you may see in third party TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.
TFTP over WAN will not work if you have applied a filter in menu 11.1 (WAN) to block Telnet service.
