Setting up a TFTP server or HTTP server for LSP software

download, if desired

The Communication Manager software CD-ROM can be used to load software on each LSP
prior to running the upgrade, but this method requires the physical insertion of the CD-ROM into
a CD-ROM drive attached to each LSP's S8300 server. Alternatively, the customer can set up
one or more TFTP servers from which to download Communication Manager software to each
LSP. However, the TFTP server or servers must be accessible to all LSPs over the WAN.
Additionally, the file structure should be installed on the TFTP server so it matches the format of
the CDROM. This means that, within the outgoing root directory of the TFTP server, a
/Releases subdirectory must be established and all software or firmware should copied to the
TFTP server should be copied as subdirectories and files under the /Releases directory.
As another alternative, the customer can set up a Web server to be used to distribute the files.
The file structure should be installed on the HTTP server so it matches the format of the CM
server CDROM. The source directory should be designated as URL of the webserver followed
by full path name to the /Releases directory. Example (http://www.acme-home.com/upgrades/
Releases).
