Configuring The Tftp Server; Using The 3Com Bootp/Tftp Configuration Utility - 3Com V7111 - VCX 4 Channels Analog FXO Media Gateway User Manual

TFTP Server IP address – Usually TFTP and BootP servers are installed on the same
host. However, when using the 3Com Configuration utility or a Microsoft DHCP server, it
is possible to set the IP address of TFTP server (Boot Server Host Name field), and in
this case BootP and TFTP servers can run from different hosts.

Configuring the TFTP Server

To configure the TFTP Server, follow these steps:
Set the default directory where the image file resides (C:\3Com\...).
1
Copy the image file (such as, ram.cmp) to the TFTP default directory on your host PC.
2
Copy the INI file and other optional configuration files (Call Progress tones and Coeff.dat
3
files) to the TFTP default directory on your host PC. Ensure the correct coeff.dat file is
used. Two different coefficient files are provided, for the VCX V7111 FXS and VCX
V7111 FXO Gateways.
Set the TFTP timeout to 3 seconds and number of retransmissions to 20.

Using the 3Com BootP/TFTP Configuration Utility

The 3Com Configuration utility provides an easy way to configure the VCX V7111 Gateway.
Similar to other BootP and TFTP servers, the application can be installed on Windows 98 or
Windows NT/2000. With 3Com's BootP/TFTP Server Configuration utility, it is possible to
use the integrated TFTP server (part of the Utility) or to install TFTP server on a different
host. The utility enables remote reset of the VCX V7111 for triggering the initialization
procedure (BootP and TFTP). For details of the procedure, see the 3Com Software Utilities
Manual.
