Understanding the BOOTP/TFTP Process
The BOOTP/TFTP process allows the GoQAM, after power on or reset, to request an
IP address and receive configuration parameters, application downloads, and
provisioning from the network BOOTP server. The DNCS, which is a BOOTP server,
uses a BOOTP reply to assign an IP address to the GoQAM if the unit is provisioned
in the DNCS database.
The configuration file selected in the File Selection Dialog window is included in the
BOOTP reply. The GoQAM uses the information in the configuration file to
determine whether it is running the correct version of application code. If the
GoQAM is not running the correct version of application code, it requests the correct
image file(s) from the DNCS.
