Short installation description:
1. Install the program on a PC located at either the Hub or a local LAN.
2. Start the program.
3. Select the correct server interface if using a PC with more than one Ethernet card.
4. Select the correct base directory (the directory where the files to be downloaded are stored and
where uploaded files will be stored).
5. You are now up and running with a TFTP server.
6. The TFTP server can now be accessed from the VSAT by using the CLI commands upload and
dload.
TFTP upload from and download to the VSAT have been tested with version 3.23 of this TFTP server,
but any TFTP server should work. It is, however, essential that the TFTP server has support for
negotiation of block lengths up to 8 Kbytes in order to obtain satisfactory performance over the satellite
link, in terms of acceptable download time.
The VSAT can access a TFTP server on both the satellite and the Ethernet interface.
