Copying the firmware file to a TFTP server or an FTP server

1. To load the firmware on a TGM550, place the firmware file on a TFTP or FTP server that is
connected to the customer's LAN.

or WAN. In cases where the supporting Communication Manager server is an S8300 Server

server to your laptop to use with the firmware upgrades.
