6. CREATING A SWITCH CONFIGURATION
6.5 Uploading the switch configuration
The binary configuration file CONFIGS_BAK can be uploaded via A615 data loading or the RS-232 serial
interface:
6.5.1 Upload via RS-232 serial interface
To upload the configuration via RS-232 serial interface, connect to the switch via Tera Term or any other
serial terminal application that is capable of transmitting raw bytes.
1. In the terminal window, enter file integrity to retrieve the states and names of the internal files.
2. Enter file upload CONFIGS_BAK <size in bytes> to prepare the switch for receiving a file. The
file size has to be specified in bytes, as displayed in the file properties (Right-click > Properties >
Size).

3. Wait for the switch to get ready. The message Ready to receive... indicates that the switch is ready.
4. Go to File > Send File. Select the file that is to be uploaded and check the Binary file transfer option.
Click Open to confirm your selection.
5. It will take some time for the switch to process the file. If it does not take the switch any time to
process the file, the uploaded file was already present in the switch and nothing was changed.
The messages Successfully wrote file and Successfully updated active page indicate that
the upload was successful.
