34.5.6 TFTP Upload Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
Where "i" specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files),
"host" is the ZyXEL Device's IP address, "put" transfers the file source on the computer
(firmware.bin – name of the firmware on the computer) to the file destination on the remote
host (ras - name of the firmware on the ZyXEL Device).
Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

34.5.7 Uploading Via Console Port

FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your ZyXEL Device.
However, in the event of your network being down, uploading files is only possible with a
direct connection to your ZyXEL Device via the console port. Uploading files via the console
port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to
perform the download/upload.

34.5.8 Uploading Firmware File Via Console Port

1 Select 1 from Menu 24.7 – System Maintenance – Upload Firmware to display Menu
24.7.1 - System Maintenance - Upload System Firmware, and then follow the
instructions as shown in the following screen.

Figure 226 Menu 24.7.1 As Seen Using the Console Port

To upload system firmware:
1. Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.
2. Enter "atur" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.
3. Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating
Xmodem upload on your terminal.
4. After successful firmware upload, enter "atgo" to restart the router.
Warning: Proceeding with the upload will erase the current system
firmware.
2 After the "Starting Xmodem upload" message appears, activate the Xmodem protocol on
your computer. Follow the procedure as shown previously for the HyperTerminal
program. The procedure for other serial communications programs should be similar.
