Before trying to save a configuration, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.
If you are using the ADTRAN TFTP Server program, the server automatical-
ly enables when you start the program. Also, please note the following:
• A level 3 or better password is required for a configuration download—
the same level required to modify most configuration parameters.
Please consult the ATLAS 550 administrator if level 3 access is not avail-
able.
• Some TFTP Servers constrain filename formats. For example, a TFTP
Server running on a PC under any platform may only permit 8.3 format
filenames (8 characters, period, and three extension characters).
To save the current configuration, follow these steps:

directory or the directory you specified.)
TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access.
Anyone can access files through the IP port on the server machine if
they know the target file's name. For security purposes, close this
utility as soon as you have finished using it.
There are various reasons why a configuration download may fail. For ex-
ample, the server may not allow the specific filename to be created or over-
written, the specified directory path may not be valid, or there may not be
