If a TFTP server is available, you can use it and appropriate configuration
files to perform any or all of the following tasks for a large number of
PX3 devices in the same network.
Initial deployment
Configuration changes
Firmware upgrade
Downloading diagnostic data
This feature is drastically useful if you have hundreds or even thousands
of PX3 devices to configure or upgrade.
Warning: The feature of bulk configuration or firmware upgrade via
DHCP/TFTP only works on standalone PX3 devices directly connected
to the network. This feature does NOT work for slave devices in the
USB-cascading configuration.
Tip: For the other alternative, see
Configuration or Firmware Upgrade
