TFTP Software Download
If immediate software activation is enabled on the target unit, the software
is downloaded to the target unit, and is activated by copying the code from
RAM to FLASH and then rebooting.
A TFTP Software Download server is built into the DL3800. This feature
allows the user to do an TFTP transfer (using the SLIP/NMS port) to the
unit RAM. The user issues the ÒPutÓ command to the unit to initiate the
transfer. If the user speciÞes the remote unit IP address, the local unit
forwards the TFTP packets to the remote unit.
Once the transfer is complete, activation is based on the setting of the
Immediate Software Activation feature with the following results:
¥ If Immediate Software Activation is disabled on the target unit, the
software is downloaded to the RAM of the target unit, but is not
activated and a reboot does not occur.
¥ If Immediate Software Activation is enabled on the target unit, the
software is downloaded to the RAM of the target unit, and is activated
by copying the code from RAM to FLASH memory and then rebooting.
The performance of the TFTP data transfer is limited by the speed of the
NMS/SLIP port, which has a maximum 38400 baud rate and the
Embedded Data Link if the transfer is going to the remote unit. Only the
ÒPutÓ TFTP server is functional; the user is not able to do a ÒGetÓ of the
software from the unit.
Ensure that you specify binary mode instead of ascii mode in the TFTP
client.
Delete Entire Unit Configuration (revert to factory config)
Deleting the unit database causes the unit, and any other device's database
within that unit, to be reset to the factory default setting. All device names
will be erased, and all connections will be removed. The time and date,
however, will remain the same, and the node number will be set to
"0.00.00".
As the warning states above, if there are any valid connections in the node,
execution of this command may interrupt service.
WARNING:
This command may interrupt service.
