Section 5 DLP-9 ATLAS 550 System Manual
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 at least a level-3 password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550, for log in
details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select the CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; then press .
4. Set the TFTP SERVER IP ADDRESS to the IP address of the machine running the TFTP Server

other TFTP servers, please refer to the appropriate documentation.
5. Change TFTP SERVER FILENAME to a unique filename including path. This will be the name of the
configuration file retrieved from 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).
The ATLAS 550 system is rebooted immediately after a configuration is successfully
loaded. No additional confirmation is requested, and any online sessions will be
terminated.
6. Select the LOAD AND USE CONFIG menu field and press .
Respond with Y to confirm request.
7. View CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current upload.
8. When the upload 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 target file’s name.
