Getting Started
Setup your TFTP Server
A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from
the AP for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The
Solarwinds TFTP server software is located on the ORiNOCO AP Installation CD-ROM. You can also download the
latest TFTP software from Solarwind's Web site at http://www.solarwinds.net.
NOTE
If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file transfer operations using the
HTTP interface.
After the TFTP server is installed:
•
Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.
•
Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server
is operational.
•
Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files, with no automatic shutdown
or time-out.
