Backing Up And Restoring Configuration Settings By Tftp - SMC Networks 2585W-G User Manual

NOTE: After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the
folder which the downloaded firmware files reside.
NOTE: Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.
NOTE: The LAN IP address of the SMC2585W-G and the IP address of the TFTP server
must be in the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the TFTP server and the to-be-upgraded
SMC2585W-G be connected by Ethernet and on the same LAN.
NOTE: After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser
cache, so that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.
NOTE: A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and cause the SMC2585W-G to not be
restarted. When this occurs, call for technical support.
TIP: If you want to remotely upgrade the firmware of a deployed SMC2585W-G from the
Internet, adjust the Timeout and Max no. of retries settings of TFTP Server for remote
TFTP upgrade to succeed.
