Setting Up the TFTP Server on Your Laptop or
on a Customer PC, if Necessary
A tar.gz file, which you obtain from a CD-ROM or a website, contains new G700 firmware. To
load the firmware on a G700 Media Gateway, you must place this tar.gz file on a TFTP server
that is connected to the customer’s LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer or it
can be your laptop if you have arranged with the customer to connect your laptop to the LAN.
Note:
Note:
A Linux or Unix TFTP server should be used only if the customer already has an
existing one. In these cases, you download the tar.gz file to your laptop and give
it to the customer for proper placement and execution.
