Tftp - Siemens SCALANCE XB-200 Configuration Manual

TFTP

Loading and saving data via a TFTP server
On this page, you can configure the TFTP server and the file names. The WBM allows you
to store device data in an external file on a TFTP server or to load such data from an
external file from the TFTP server to the devices. This means, for example, that you can also
load new firmware from a file located on a TFTP server.
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens
can be downloaded to the device.
Note
Incompatibility with previous firmware versions with/without PLUG inserted
During the installation of a previous version, the configuration data can be lost. In this case,
the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been installed.
In this situation, if a PLUG is inserted in the device, following the restart, this has the status
"Not Accepted" since the PLUG still has the configuration data of the previous more up-to-
date firmware. This allows you to return to the previous, more up-to-date firmware without
any loss of configuration data. If the original configuration on the PLUG is no longer required,
the PLUG can be deleted or rewritten manually using the WBM page "System > PLUG".
Configuration files
Note
Configuration files and Trial mode /Automatic save
In "Automatic Save" mode, the data is saved automatically before the configuration files
(ConfigPack and Config) are transferred.
In Trial mode, although the changes are adopted, they are not saved in the configuration
files (ConfigPack and Config). Use the "Write Startup Config" button on the "System >
Configuration" WBM page to save changes in the configuration files.
CLI script file
You can download existing CLI configurations (RunningCLI) and upload your own CLI scripts
(Script).
Note
The downloadable CLI script is not intended to be uploaded again unchanged.
