this field. The three options shown above will appear as illustrated in the figure. Use the arrow

21.5.1 tftp and xmodem upgrades

Traditionally, downloading allowed for two options: xmodem and tftp. New in the 6.1.4
release is the xpress option. The IPR*4 load is over four megabits in size. Although the
xmodem method is offered, it is strongly recommended that the tftp option be
selected.Choosing the xmodem method will work, but will take several hours to complete. The
tftp and xpress selections offer downloading through the traditional interaction with the
IMACS CPU, through the ethernet port on the CPU. The tftp process is the preferred process,
as it provides user status indications and automated processes. Following are the questions and
the appropriate responses in order to tftp a new load into the IPR*4 card:
• Mismatch retries: (1 - 40). Leave at the default of 20 and hit carriage return.
• Timeout retries: (1 - 10). Leave at default of 4 and hit carriage return
• IP Address of server: In the box provided, denote the IP address of the device running the
tftp server software.
• File name: Enter in the box provided the load file to be retrieved. This will resemble
something like iprtr_1.1.00.bin.
If the loadname selected will results in a functionality change, then the user will be prompted
that they will need to reprovision services as noted in Figure 21-7.
