Firmware/Config - FTP
The FTP tab under the Firmware/Config category gives the administrator the ability to upload or download
a config file for a 7014 Series switch. This gives administrators the ability to backup their configurations to
a server offsite in case they need to reload their custom configurations at a later time. Administrators are
also given the ability to flash the switch in the field allowing them to update the firmware in the field
without losing their current configurations and without having to send the unit back in to N-Tron for updates
in the future. It is important not to cycle power on the switch or interrupt the data connection between the
FTP server and the switch while you are flashing or uploading or downloading a config file. The switch
will not stop working if this does occur, but the administrator will have to retransfer the file.
