Netopia R3100 User Manual

Uploading a file can also be useful for troubleshooting purposes. The uploaded configuration file can be tested 
on a different Netopia R3100 unit by Netopia or your network administrator.

To upload a configuration file, follow these steps:

1.

Select TFTP Server Name and enter the ser ver name or IP address of the TFTP ser ver you will use. The 
ser ver name or IP address is available from the site where the ser ver is located.

2.

Select Config File Name and enter a name for the file you will upload. The file will appear with the name you 
choose on the TFTP ser ver. You may need to enter a file path along with the file name (for example, 
Mypc/Netopia/myfile).

3.

Select Write Config Now and press Return. Netopia will begin to transfer the file.

4.

The TFTP Transfer State item will change from Idle to Writing Config. The TFTP Current Transfer Bytes 
item will reflect the number of bytes transferred.

You can transfer configuration and firmware files with XMODEM through the Netopia R3100’s console por t. Be 
sure your terminal emulation program suppor ts XMODEM file transfers.

To go to the X-Modem File Transfer screen, select it in the Utilities & Diagnostics screen.

Note: The X-Modem File Transfer screen is only available if you are connected via the Console por t.

Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization’s 
network administration.
