The following parameters may be configured or viewed:

Server IP address: Enter the TFTP Server IP address.

File Type: Choose either Config, image, BspBl, or license.
File Operation: Choose either Download or Download and Reboot.

Click OK to start the download.

Upload Files

Click Commands > Upload to upload a configuration or log file from the unit to a TFTP server (see TFTP Server Setup for information about the SolarWinds TFTP server software located on your product installation CD).

The following parameters may be configured or viewed:

Server IP address: Enter the TFTP Server IP address.
File Name: Enter the name of the file to be uploaded. If you are using the SolarWinds TFTP server software located on your product installation CD, the default directory for uploading files is C:\TFTP-Root.
File Type: Choose either Config, Templog, or Eventlog.

Click OK to start the upload.

Reboot the Unit

Click Commands > Reboot to reboot the unit's embedded software. Configuration changes are saved and the unit is reset.

CAUTION: Rebooting the unit causes all users currently connected to lose their connection to the network until the unit has completed the reboot process and resumed operation.

Reset the Unit to Factory Default

Click Commands > Reset to restore the configuration of the unit to the factory default values.

You can also reset the unit by pressing the RELOAD button located on the side of the power brick. See Hard Reset to Factory Default for more information.

CAUTION: Resetting the unit to its factory default configuration permanently overwrites all changes made to the unit. The unit reboots automatically after this command has been issued.

Set the Help Link Location

Click Commands > Help Link to set the location of the help files of the Web Interface. Upon installation, the help files are installed in the C:\Program Files\Tsunami\MP.11 [Product Name]\Help folder.

If you want to place these files on a shared drive, copy the Help folder to the new location and specify the new path in the Help Link box.

Downgrade to Previous Release

Click Commands > Downgrade tab to downgrade to a previous release. Downgrade currently is supported only to release 2.0.1 and later. Once you enter this command, the unit is downgraded to the specified release and is automatically rebooted. The filename specified and the filename of the image selected for downgrade must be the same version. The unit will download the file, re-format the configuration to match the version, and reboot to put the image into effect.
