AAM1212 User's Guide
If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,
you will need to rename them as the AAM only recognizes "config-0" and "ras". Be sure you
keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the AAM and the external filename refers to the filename not on the AAM, that is, on your
computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After
uploading new firmware, use the
the correct firmware version.
