If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,

you will need to rename them as the OLT only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure you keep

unaltered copies of both files for later use.

Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong

model firmware may damage your device.

31.1.2 FTP Command Line Procedure

1 Launch the FTP client on your computer.

2 Enter open, followed by a space and the IP address of your OLT.

3 Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username (the default is “admin”).

4 Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).

5 Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary.

6 Use put to transfer files from the computer to the OLT, for example, put ras transfers the firmware

on your computer to the OLT and renames it to “ras”. Similarly, put config transfers the

configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the OLT and renames it to “config”. Likewise get

config config.cfg transfers the configuration file on the OLT to your computer and renames it to

“config.cfg”. See Table 121 on page 227 for more information on filename conventions.

7 Enter quit to exit the ftp prompt.
