In order to add a file in the system flash memory via TFTP, follow this procedure:
- check if the system is connected via TCP/IP protocol to a computer able to run a
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) Server Software and configured properly;
- run the TFTP Server Software and select the directory containing the file you
want to add;
- enter the Update Menu by pressing “U” in the Mod. NIM8304 Terminal Menu
window.

The TFTP Server is usually available on Unix workstations. In case of PCs with Windows
XP/2000/7/Vista, there are various shareware programs available on Internet, e.g. the program
Pumpkin by the KLEVER GROUP INC. (www.klever.net).
