Perform the following steps in the order listed.
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using the ETHERNET interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s ETHERNET port using Telnet client software, use the
procedure in DLP-3, Setting IP Parameters for the ATLAS 550, to connect to the unit.
2. Log in to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550, for details).

5. Change TFTP server filename to a unique filename. This will be the name of the configuration file
saved to the remote server.
Some TFTP servers constrain the format of the filename depending on the operating system of the
server. For example, a TFTP server running on a PC under Windows 3.1 may only permit 8.3 format
filenames (8 characters, period, and three extension characters).
6. Select the SAVE CONFIG REMOTELY menu field and press .
Respond with Y to confirm request.
7. View CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current transfer.
8. When the transfer has successfully completed, IDLE displays in the CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS field
and TFTP DOWNLOAD COMPLETE displays in the PREVIOUS TRANSFER STATUS field.
TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access. Anyone can access files
through the IP port on the server machine if they know the filename of the target file.
