ATLAS 550 System ManualSection 4, User Interface Guide
To support these TFTP transfers, ADTRAN delivers a TFTP Server (as part of ADTRAN Utilities) on the
ATLAS 550 documentation CD. You can install the ADTRAN Utilities software on any PC running
Microsoft Windows, and use the TFTP server for TFTP transfers to/from the ATLAS 550.
Only one configuration transfer session (upload or download) can be active at a time. The TCP/IP
parameters are not saved or overwritten as part of an ATLAS 550 unit’s transferred configuration;
therefore, identical configurations can be sent to multiple units. For complete details on configuration
transfers to/from the ATLAS 550, please refer to DLP-008, DLP-009, DLP-010, and DLP-011.
