Install Software Using TFTP Server

A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from the
AP for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The Solarwinds
TFTP server software is located on the AP Installation CD-ROM. You can also download the latest TFTP software from
Solarwind's Web site at http://www.solarwinds.net. The instructions that follow assume that you are using the Solarwinds
TFTP server software; other TFTP servers may require different configurations.
NOTE: If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file transfer operations using the HTTP
interface.
TFTP Server Setup
To download or upload a file, you must connect to the computer with the TFTP server through the unit's Ethernet port.
This can be any computer in the network or a computer connected to the unit with a cross-over Ethernet cable.
Ensure that:
1. The upload or download directory is correctly set (the default directory is C:\TFTP-Root).
2. The required image file is present in the directory.
3. The TFTP server is running. The TFTP server must be running only during file upload or download. You can check the
connectivity between the unit and TFTP server by pinging the unit from the computer that hosts the TFTP server. The
ping program should show replies from the unit.
4. The TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files, with no automatic shutdown or time-out.
