3621.0. "ClearVisn Flash loader & TFTP byte count missed" by ROM01::GALLANA (Francesco Gallana) Thu Jun 13 1996 17:06

    Hello,
    
    I updated the firmware in some 900 series module using the new
    ClearVisn Flash Loader software. I was surprised to not find the old
    style TFTP server, expecially the "byte count" field, very usefull to
    know how the down-load is going
    
    The actual TFTP, instead, is very "anonymous"
    
    Did you plan to re-implement this nice feature again?
    
    I hope someone will agree with me about this funcionality.
    
    Thanks
    
    Francesco

3621.1	TFTP Server	NETCAD::FORINO		`Tue Jul 23 1996 20:06`	19
	The NetRider TFTP Server you describe with the block count went out with HUBwatch V4.0 and the HUBloader. The newer NetRider TP Server that went out with HUBwatch V4.1 removed the count and replaced it with a blinking status indicator. Needless to say many people prefer the block count. We had to abandon the NetRider TFTP Server we had in HUBwatch for clearVISN because it could not do simultaneous loads of multiple devices. The Router Manager application required this feature so that is why we have this new TFTP Server. For the next release of clearVISN we want to put a front end GUI on this TFTP Server that would be similar to what we originally had. This is the current plan but until we see all the work for the next release we are not committing to this. John

	John, I think most people would agree that even if Router Manager needs support for mutiple device loads, NETrider V1.1 is more than adequate for the loading of hubs & modules. Given how tenuous you were in -.1, can you at least put V1.1 on the next CD until you are able to get the front-end finished?
