Appendix D
Bulk Configuration or Firmware Upgrade
via DHCP/TFTP
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 PX3TS 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
PX3TS devices to configure or upgrade.
Warning: The feature of bulk configuration or firmware upgrade via
DHCP/TFTP only works on standalone PX3TS devices directly connected to
the network. This feature does NOT work for slave devices in the cascading
configuration.
Tip: For the other alternatives, see
USB Drive
(on page 731) or
769).
